WSJ: Mike Flynn Offers to Testify in Exchange for Immunity https://t.co/KXdsFeGyTn
— Byron Tau (@ByronTau) March 30, 2017
More from the Wall Street Journal:
WASHINGTON—Mike Flynn, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, has told the Federal Bureau of Investigation and congressional officials investigating the Trump campaign’s potential ties to Russia that he is willing to be interviewed in exchange for a grant of immunity from prosecution, according to officials with knowledge of the matter.
As an adviser to Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign, and later one of Mr. Trump’s top aides in the White House, Mr. Flynn was privy to some of the most sensitive foreign-policy deliberations of the new administration and was directly involved in discussions about the possible lifting of sanctions on Russia imposed by the Obama administration.
According to the article, no one has taken Flynn up on his offer yet.

Why ask for immunity if Flynn did nothing wrong or illegal? Interesting….. https://t.co/mFT4A1TFdz

Two questions here: Why does Flynn need immunity? And why won’t anyone offer it? https://t.co/FsLXaaD5DD

Statement from Flynn's atty seems to acknowledge seeking immunity, explaining it's necessary in "highly politicized, witch hunt environment" pic.twitter.com/IH7ZVLwLnw
