FBI agents who last year interviewed then-national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn didn’t believe he lied to them, according to a report by the House intelligence committee.

“[T]he Federal Bureau of Investigation agents did not detect any deception during Flynn’s interview,” states the heavily redacted report (pdf), released on April 27.
