FBI/LEGAL/MICHAEL FLYNN/ROBERT MUELLER/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser who pleaded guilty in a case related to the Russian election collusion investigation, is eager to move to the sentencing phase and put his legal ordeal behind him, Flynn’s lawyer said at a hearing on Tuesday. Robert Kelner confirmed at the hearing that his client continues to cooperate with U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of any links between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia. Kelner also indicated the evidence the judge had ordered Mueller provide to Flynn’s legal team had not altered his case. Flynn’s court appearance on Tuesday [7-10-18] was his first since he pleaded guilty in December to lying to agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation about his discussions with Russia’s ambassador to the United States regarding U.S. sanctions and a U.N. resolution related to Israel. Flynn, a former Army lieutenant general, was forced out as national security adviser after only 24 days in the job.”
