Michael Flynn’s brother called on President Trump to pardon the former national security adviser in a since-deleted tweet.
“About time you pardoned General Flynn who has taken the biggest fall for all of you given the illegitimacy of this confessed crime in the wake of all this corruption,†Joseph Flynn tweeted.
Joseph Flynn deleted the tweet he sent Tuesday after about 15 minutes, but confirmed to Newsweek he had sent it.
The tweet came in response to a Trump tweet complaining about special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election and possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and the Russians.
Joseph Flynn told Newsweek he stands by his tweet.
“This is my personal opinion and I stand by it,†he said.
