US: Flynn described efforts to interfere with co-operation
WASHINGTON — Former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn told the special counsel’s office that people connected to the Trump administration and Congress contacted him about his co-operation with the Russia investigation.
That’s according to a court filing from prosecutors Thursday that describes the extent of Flynn’s co-operation with the probe.
The document says Flynn and his attorneys received communications from unidentified people connected to the administration and Congress that “could have affected both his willingness to co-operate and the completeness of that co-operation.” Prosecutors say Flynn provided a voicemail recording of one such communication.
