LEGAL/RUSSIA/TRUMP PEOPLE/MICHAEL FLYNN: “Last fall, as retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn traveled the country stumping for Donald Trump, his business partner holed up in a small Washington hotel room with the former head of Turkish military intelligence to work on a special project.
‘General, hi. I’m Bijan Kian, welcome to Washington, D.C.,’ Mr. Kian, the head of Mr. Flynn’s consulting firm, greeted the Turkish dignitary. ‘Gen. Flynn, my partner, sends his regards to you.’
The hotel room meeting was filmed as part of a documentary the Flynn Intel Group was producing for a Turkish businessman, who paid $530,000 to the lobbying shop to polish the country’s image after a botched military coup. That contract has landed Mr. Flynn in legal jeopardy.
The unfinished, never-distributed film, details of which haven’t been previously reported, appears to represent the core of the Flynn Intel Group’s work for Turkish interests.”
