The original draft report from an FBI interview of former Trump adviser Michael Flynn was deleted, according to a letter filed with the court by the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Oct. 22.

The letter defended the deletion of the FBI’s 302 form as a matter of FBI document retention policy. Flynn’s lead attorney, former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell, isn’t satisfied with the explanation.
