The FBI agents who interviewed former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn during the early days of the Russia investigation knew they might catch him lying about his contacts with the Russian ambassador and mused about getting him fired, according to newly unsealed documents in his criminal case.

U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan in Washington on Wednesday made public several pages of Federal Bureau of Investigation emails and handwritten notes about the January 2017 interview with Flynn, who argues the evidence supports his request to have the criminal case tossed out.
