Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates says she was not happy that former FBI Director James Comey sent agents to the White House to interview then-National Security Advisor Michael Flynn in January, 2017 about his contacts with the then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak
During a Senate Judiciary Hearing on Wednesday, Yates was pressed on whether Comey had her approval to interview Flynn. Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said, “You didn’t authorize the interview. As a matter of fact, you wanted to go to the White House and tell them about the problem, didn’t you?”
“That’s right, I thought that was the more immediate issue,” Yates responded.
Graham asked if Yates was “upset” when she heard that FBI agents went to the White House to interview Flynn. She responded, “I was upset that Director Comey didn’t coordinate that with us and acted unilaterally.”
“Did Comey go rogue?” Graham asked.
Yates replied and agreed with his sentiment. She said, “You could use that term, yes.”
