Former national security adviser Michael Flynn "has assisted with several ongoing investigations,†special counsel Robert Mueller said in a court filing late Tuesday night.
In addition to assisting with the special counsel’s investigation into any connections between the Russian government, the Trump campaign, and the Trump transition team, Flynn has assisted in another criminal investigation, of which details were heavily redacted by Mueller’s team.
Because of the "substantial" cooperation — Flynn interviewed with the special counsel’s team 19 times — Mueller's team is asking for no jail time.
Flynn, 59, briefly served as President Trump’s national security adviser from Jan. 20 to Feb. 13, 2017.
Last December, Flynn admitted to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. That made him the second former Trump aide, after George Papadopoulos, to cut a plea deal with Mueller’s team.
Mueller's office said that it can't reveal the details of what it called “substantial assistance†from Flynn because “the investigations in which he has provided assistance are ongoing."
