Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has sought to declassify a list of former Obama administration officials who were allegedly involved in the so-called “unmasking” of former national security adviser Michael Flynn in his conversations with the former Russian ambassador during the presidential transition, a senior U.S. official tells ABC News. Grenell, who remains the U.S. ambassador to Germany along with being the acting DNI, visited the Justice Department last week to request the declassification of the list, according to the official.

Incoming Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, who previously served as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, has been given a mandate in his new position: clean house. To get the job done, Grenell is hiring staff with a history of finding abuse, specifically with the FISA court, inside the intelligence community. CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge has the story.
