FBI General Counsel Dana Boente, a central figure in the revived Michael Flynn scandal, has reportedly been ousted from his job.
FBI Director Christopher Wray asked for Boente's resignation on Friday. However, the decision to oust Boente came from "high levels" in the Justice Department — not originally from Wray, according to NBC News.
Boente has come under increased scrutiny for his role in the Michael Flynn case following the Justice Department's shock decision to drop prosecutorial action against Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.
