The son of ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn is a “subject” of the federal investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, NBC News reported Wednesday.
Three current and former government officials told NBC that Michael G. Flynn was being investigated in part for his work on behalf of his father’s lobbying firm, Flynn Intel Group. Special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating the handsomely paid lobbying contract the firm carried out on behalf of a businessman close to Turkey’s government. The work was done while the elder Flynn was serving as a top adviser to Donald Trump’s campaign and transition to the White House.
Flynn Jr.’s legal counsel, Barry Coburn, told NBC he could not comment on the matter.
Other individuals identified as “subjects” of Mueller’s investigation include Flynn himself and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Former campaign adviser Carter Page, Trump’s son-in-law and White House adviser Jared Kushner, and the President’s son, Donald Trump Jr., are also under scrutiny for their contacts with Russians during the 2016 race.
Flynn Jr. was removed from the Trump transition team in December after promoting conspiracy theories on his social media accounts— including a bizarre and baseless narrative about top Democrats running a child sex trafficking ring from a popular Washington, D.C. pizza shop, known as “Pizzagate.”
“LOCK HIM UP!”
And the noose gets tighter.
So Michael Flynn’s son is now being investigated? The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.
as his Father shouted. “lock Him Up”. got a lot on Both of them. Hillary had a personal server which was legal. go figure.
waiting for them to be frogged marched. treasonous for MONEY.
That’s sort of inevitable. His son was too involved in his lobbying to stay outside of the net Mueller has around Flynn himself. And his son is even stupider.
