CONGRESS/MICHAEL FLYNN/ROBERT MUELLER/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Michael Flynn told special counsel Robert Mueller that people connected to the Trump administration or Congress had contacted him, potentially attempting to influence his willingness to help prosecutors, newly unsealed court records show. Flynn, President Donald Trump’s one-time national security adviser, gave Mueller a voicemail recording of one of the conversations. A federal judge has ordered that the voicemail’s transcript, transcripts of Flynn’s calls with Russian officials and potentially redacted parts of the Mueller report related to Flynn be made public, setting up the likelihood that even more details will be made public in the coming weeks. The communications, from ‘persons connected to the Administration or Congress,’ Mueller wrote, ‘could have affected both (Flynn’s) willingness to cooperate and the completeness of that cooperation’…The revelations raise the possibility that others around the President may have attempted to obstruct justice with the outreach to Flynn.”
