Donald Trump ‘strongly considering full pardon’ for Michael Flynn
- President tweets support for first national security adviser
- Opinion: Trump’s use of clemency undermines the rule of law
Donald Trump is “strongly considering a full pardon” for Michael Flynn, his first national security adviser who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his dealings with the Russian ambassador before Trump took office.
Flynn, who has not been sentenced, cut a deal as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian election interference and links between Trump and Moscow.
