That section of the Mueller report—which also refers to
former FBI Director James Comey, former National Security Adviser Michael
Flynn, then White House Counsel Don McGahn II, and the former Russian
ambassador to the United States, Sergey Kislyak—reads as follows:
By the time the President spoke to Comey about Flynn, DOJ
officials had informed McGahn, who informed the President, that Flynn’s
statements to senior White House officials about his contacts with Kislyak were
not true and that Flynn had told the same version of events to the FBI. McGahn
also informed the President that Flynn’s conduct could violate 18 USC §1001. [US
Code Title 18 § 1001 is the federal statute that makes it a
felony to lie to the FBI or other federal investigators, a crime that Flynn did
indeed later plead guilty to.]
