Flynn Files $50 Million Lawsuit Over FBI “Persecution”

Law & Crime reports:

Michael Flynn, the first national security advisor for President Donald Trump who twice pleaded guilty to charges of lying to the FBI about his conversations with a Russian agent, is once again suing the federal government claiming he was wrongfully prosecuted. The case was initially filed in July 2023 and dismissed by a federal judge in Florida in December 2024.

Flynn in 2017 pleaded guilty to to one felony count of “willfully and knowingly making materially false statements and omissions to the Federal Bureau of Investigation” regarding conversations he had with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States. He was pardoned by Donald Trump in November 2020.

Through his attorneys, Flynn asserts that FBI agents and prosecutors working for special counsel Robert Mueller specifically “targeted” him as an “insurance policy” to derail a potential Trump presidency, should he win the 2016 election, because Flynn was seen as a threat to the entrenched “deep state.”
