He formed, to blame

Michael Flynn, former US presidential adviser Donald Trump for National Security, found in the federal court in Washington that he was guilty of "intentional and conscious" disinformation of the FBI about his contacts with representatives of Russia. It is reported by CNN.

In addition, Flynn said that he was ready to cooperate with the investigation and testify "against President Trump, his family members and representatives of the White House," ABC News reports . According to the channel, Flynn agrees to talk about how Trump, being a candidate for US presidency, instructed him to establish contacts with Russia.

On the eve of the US Special Prosecutor Robert Müller, investigating the case of Russian interference with the 2016 American President, accused the FBI of FBI of false information about his conversations with the then Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergei Kislyak. The document notes that "approximately January 24, 2017, the accused Michael Flynn voluntarily and intentionally made virtually false, fictional and fraudulent statements and explanations" FBI agents in Washington.

According to investigators, Flynn lied, saying that on December 29, 2016 he did not ask the Russian authorities to refrain from the escalation of the situation in response to the sanctions that the United States introduced against Russia on the same day. " He also did not mention that Kislyak informed him of the decision of Moscow to "choose a moderate response to these sanctions."

Since conversations took place before Trump's inauguration, Flynn, who had not yet held official posts, did not have the right to discuss these issues with a representative of a foreign state.

On February 13, Flynn, who worked as presidential adviser, has been resigned for less than a month. It turned out that he misinformed the vice president of Michael Pence regarding the details of his conversations with Kislyak.

When information about the conversations ended in the media, Flynn initially denied that he had discussed the issues of sanctions with Kislyak. However, later a representative of Flynn said that the adviser "does not remember the discussion of sanctions, but cannot be sure that this topic has never been raised." Flynn later said that in conversations with the ambassador he "did not cross the line." "If this happened, the FBI would grab me by the throat, and my admission would be withdrawn. I did not pass any borders," Flynn said.

In March, it became known about Flinn's connections with the Turkish authorities . The official representative of the White House Sean Spicer then said that Trump did not know about Flynn's work in the interests of Turkey. At the same time, Spicer noted that Flynn's lobbying activity was his personal business regarding business. The decision on registration as a foreign agent depended only on him. In turn, Pence said that information about Flynn's lobbying activities confirms that his resignation was a right step.

On July 7, the ex-director of the FBI Director James Komi dismissed by Trump, in his written testimony, said to the Senate that Trump asked him to terminate the investigation against Flynn. The president said that the ex-adviser “did nothing wrong”, and he had to be resigned only because he had misleads the Pence. Trump called Flynn a "good guy" and several times asked Komi to "let him go." Komi, however, did not agree to do this.

On August 5, The New York Times, citing sources close to the investigation, said that investigators from the Müller team requested documents related to Flynn in the White House. “Although this is not a formal agenda in the court, the request was the first known request of Müller’s team to the White House on the transfer of documents,” the publication noted.
