Michael Flynn

Michael Flynn, Donald Trump‘s former national security advisor, has become an asset to Robert Mueller in his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Mueller informed a federal court on Tuesday that Flynn should not be sentenced with time in jail thanks to his “substantial assistance” in the investigation.

According to Mueller’s memo, Flynn was interviewed by various special counsel’s office and Justice Department officials 19 times. Flynn pleaded guilty in Dec. 17 to lying to the FBI about his communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
