Unfinished business. The Flynn Legal Defense Fund needs some coverage.
Report: Michael Flynn Amasses Huge $5 Million Legal Bill
Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty in December 2017 to making false statements to the FBI regarding his contact with Russian officials and business dealings with Turkey, is facing millions in legal bills, according to a report.
ABC News, citing a source close to Flynn, says President Donald Trump’s formal national security adviser has amassed legal fees of around $5 million.
Flynn has in part relied on the Michael T. Flynn Legal Defense Fund, established by family and friends of the retired army man, to help cover his mounting legal bills. A source told ABC News in February 2018 that Flynn would not accept support from the Patriot Legal Expense Fund, which was set up with Trump’s campaign funds to help his White House and campaign officials cover their legal bills related to the Mueller investigation. “General Flynn early on made a decision not to accept funds from President Trump, the Trump Organization, or the campaign, and has not accepted any funds from them,” the unnamed source said at the time. “And he does not expect to accept any funds from the new entity.”
Reports of Flynn’s crushing legal bills come one day after the Department of Justice announced that the special counsel did not find evidence that Trump’s presidential campaign “conspired or coordinated” with the Russian government in the 2016 presidential election. The major development set off speculation that Flynn could receive a pardon from the president; however, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Monday that it was too early to discuss pardons.
Meanwhile, Flynn has been cooperating with prosecutors in Virginia in an ongoing case against two former business associates accused of illegally lobbying for Turkey. That case is scheduled for trial in July, and because of Flynn’s continued cooperation, his lawyers recently asked in a court filing to be able to submit another status report in 90 days.
