Newly unsealed documents suggest Joe Biden 'personally raised the idea' of investigating former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn over his ties to Russia.
The partly-redacted handwritten notes by disgraced ex-FBI Agent Peter Strzok point to the possibility it was the then-vice president who suggested Flynn could have violated the Logan Act during phone calls with then-Russian ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak.
'VP: "Logan Act."' read Strzok's notes, dated January 4 2017 and attached to federal court papers filed Wednesday by Flynn's defense team. [After the election]
Back in May, Biden first claimed he knew 'nothing' of the Obama administration's moves to investigate Flynn, when he was serving as vice president in the White House.
They also reveal Obama called for 'the right people' to investigate Flynn and that Comey said Flynn's conversations with Kislyak 'appear legit,' according to Wednesday's four-page court filing.
