Michael Flynn Pleads Guilty to Lying to the F.B.I.
Michael Flynn Pleads Guilty to Lying to the F.B.I.
WASHINGTON — President Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, pleaded guilty on Friday to lying to the F.B.I. about conversations with the Russian ambassador last December during the presidential transition, bringing the special counsel’s investigation into the president’s inner circle.
Mr. Flynn, who appeared in federal court in Washington, acknowledged that he was cooperating with the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, into Russian interference in the 2016 election. His plea agreement suggests that Mr. Flynn provided information to prosecutors, which may help advance the inquiry.
The development came at a particularly sensitive moment for the White House, just as Mr. Trump and Republican congressional leaders are toiling to hold together a tenuous coalition to push through a large tax cut plan. It marked an unwelcome headline at a time when the president’s team is hoping to focus public attention on what they argue is an impressive list of accomplishments in his first year.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Just in:
Flynn will testify that Jared Kushner is the "Senior official" who directed him to contact the Russians.
So, it goes all the way to the President.

The investigation goes one more step up the food chain.
