Flynn seeks immunity in talks with Congress over Russia probes
Former national security adviser Michael Flynn negotiates with House and Senate intelligence committees on immunity in exchange for testimony, aiming to avoid possible prosecution amid investigations into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and links to Trump associates. Flynn’s lawyer says any testimony would depend on assurances, and committees note Flynn has not yet offered to testify. The case follows Flynn’s firing for misrepresenting contacts with the Russian ambassador and the later disclosure of his lobbying work for Turkey.
