In an op-ed published by The New York Times Sunday, Mary B. McCord, the former acting assistant attorney general for national security at the Department of Justice, accuses Attorney General William Barr of having “twisted my words” in dropping the case against former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn.
At the direction of Barr, Timothy Shea, acting U.S. attorney in Washington, recently filed a motion to drop the case amid increased evidence that the interview with Flynn was effectively a “perjury trap,” as Barr put it. The motion repeatedly cites a July 2017 interview with McCord to support its decision, but McCord says her comments have been distorted.
