According to a courts spokesperson Gen. Flynn has been charged with “lying to the FBI” in Russia Probe.
Special counsel Robert Mueller has charged former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn with “willfully and knowingly” making “false, fictitious and fraudulent statements” to the FBI regarding conversations with Russia’s ambassador.
He is due to appear in court later Friday morning, a court spokesperson said.
Flynn is the first Trump administration official and the fourth connected to the campaign to be charged as part of Mueller’s investigation into possible collusion between the Russian government and members of Trump’s team, as well as potential obstruction of justice and financial crimes.
According to some of our sources, this is all they got on Flynn. Although there were issues surrounding his ties to Turkey it seems they were not able to find wrongdoing as it pertained to his ties to Turkey.
