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.
Michael Flynn has become the fourth person invovled with the Trump campaign accused of wrongdoing in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
The news about Flynn comes a day after CNN reported that Jared Kushner had met earlier this month with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team as part of the investigation into Russia's meddling in the election, according to two people familiar with the meeting.
Flynn, who is expected to plead guilty in a DC court, willfully made false statements to FBI agents in January 2017, according to a court filing. He reportedly lied to FBI agents about his contact with a Russian envoy. His plea hearing is set for 10:30 am ET.
