On Wednesday, Sally Yates, the former Deputy Attorney General of the United States, told the Senate Judiciary committee that former FBI-Director James Comey went rogue in his probing of national security advisor Michael Flynn, FOX reports. At the hearing, Yates said she was angry when she learned that Comey did not seek her authorization when interviewing Flynn.
Veteran Republican Senator, Lindsay Graham posed questions about the interview and the circumstances surrounding the actions of Comey. "I was upset that Director Comey didn't coordinate that with us and acted unilaterally," Yates said.
Graham followed with “Did Comey go rogue?” Yates then told the committee “you could use that term, yes.”
