Special Counsel Robert Mueller plowed into the middle of Donald Trump’s administration, securing a responsible plea from Trump’s first national protection adviser and putting markers on two different advisers, such as the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
Michael Flynn admitted he lied to FBI marketers in January approximately conversations he’d had with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. But he testified Friday that he had absolutely informed individuals of Trump’s transition team about the communications, and had been guided via them.
In courtroom, Flynn defined what genuinely befell. In late December, as Trump organized to enter the White House, a “very senior member” of his transition team urged Flynn to searching for Russia’s support on a United Nations safety rely. Flynn then requested Russia’s U.S. Ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, to help postpone or defeat a UN security council vote involving Israeli settlements. The senior transition member changed into Kushner, humans familiar with the problem said Friday.
