Biden and other Obama officials received ‘unmasking’ information on Michael Flynn, declassified records show
(Worthy News) – Former Vice President Joe Biden and other top Obama officials received information in response to “unmasking” requests targeting retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn in the final weeks of the previous administration, according to a memo declassified by acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell.
Thirty-seven of the 49 unmasking requests appear to have taken place prior to the Flynn’s controversial phone calls with Russia’s ambassador as he was under investigation as part of the FBI’s inquiry into ties between the Trump 2016 campaign and Russia which was later wrapped into Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation.
The list, obtained by the Washington Examiner on Wednesday, shows Biden received information at least once in response to such an unmasking request on Jan. 12, 2017, but it is not clear whether he made the request or even looked at the information. Biden is now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee in the 2020 contest for the White House. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
