Mueller releases memo on Michael Flynn interview, on eve of #Flynn sentencing

Flynn pleaded guilty to multiple federal charges, and is set to be sentenced on Tuesday.

On the eve of former Trump aide Michael Flynn's sentencing on felony charges, special counsel Robert Mueller has released a January 2017 FBI memo that details an interview with Flynn by agent Peter Strzok and another FBI agent.

Here is a PDF copy shared by USA Today.

In the interview described in the SCO memo, Flynn --President Donald Trump's national security adviser at the time -- lied about his contact with Russia's Ambassador to the United States at that time, Sergey Kislyak.

Flynn, writes Mueller, does not need to be warned it is a crime to lie to federal agents to know the importance of telling them the truth.

This will be big. Judge in Flynn case says that the memo, written by FBI agents following their interview with Michael Flynn at the White House, should be made public, with some redactions allowed, and will be relevant at his sentencing. This memo had only been filed under seal.

From the Daily Beast's synopsis:

The document, dated February 2017, recounts Flynns conversation with FBI agents at the White House in January of that year. The notes state that agents asked Flynn if he remembered asking Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak to refrain from retaliating against President Obamas expulsion of Russian diplomats for meddling in the 2016 election. Flynn responded by saying, Not really. I don't remember. It wasnt Dont do anything. Agents also asked Flynn if he asked Russia and other countries to vote down a pending U.N.
