President Donald Trump’s pardon of Michael Flynn protects the former national security adviser from a broad array of criminal charges stemming from the special counsel’s probe, as well as multiple grand jury investigations that posed potential legal concerns for Flynn.
Federal prosecutors released a full copy of Trump’s pardon in a court filing on Monday seeking the dismissal of charges against Flynn for lying to the FBI. Flynn had pleaded guilty on Dec. 1, 2017 in the special counsel’s Russia probe to lying to FBI agents regarding his communications with a Russian diplomat in December 2016.
