U.S. Department of Justice 1. The Special Counsel's Office Washington, D.C. 20530 December 17, 2018 By ECF The Honorable Emmet G. Sullivan United States District Court for the District of Columbia E. Barrett Prettyman United States Courthouse 333 Constitution Avenue N.W. Washington, DC 20001 Re: United States v. Michael T. Flynn, Crim. No. 17-232 (EGS) Dear Judge Sullivan: Pursuant to the Court's Minute Order dated today, the government hereby files two redacted versions of the FD-302 report summarizing the FBI's interview of the defendant on January 24, 2017. See Attachment. The content of both versions of the report is identical, except that the first version, which was digitally signed and certified in February 2017, inadvertently contained a header labeled "DRAFT DOCUMENT/DELIBERATIVE MATERIAL." Once that error was recognized, the header was removed and a corrected version, omitting only the header, was re- signed and re-certified in May 2017. Very truly yours, ROBERT S. MUELLER, III Special Counsel By: _________/s/__________ Brandon L. Van Grack Zainab N.
