“In an email sent hours before his death in a single-car L.A. crash, journalist Michael Hastings wrote that his ‘close friends and associates’ were being interviewed by the FBI and he was going to ‘go off the radar for a bit.’ According to the email, Hastings wrote he was working on a ‘big story’ and was going to disappear. He told his colleagues that if the FBI came to interview them, they should have legal counsel present. Hastings was researching a story about a privacy lawsuit brought by Florida socialite Jill Kelley against the Department of Defense and the FBI. The FBI said Hastings was never under investigation by the agency.”
