Washington: Special Counsel Robert Mueller has collected sufficient evidence to charge Michael Flynn, US President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, and his son, NBC News reported on Monday, citing multiple sources familiar with the investigation. NBC News said Mr Mueller’s team was looking at possible money-laundering charges, lying to federal agents, and Mr Flynn’s role in a possible plan to remove an opponent of the Turkish President from the US in exchange for millions of dollars.
Mr Mueller is increasing pressure on Mr Flynn following his indictment of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, NBC said. Mr Flynn served 24 days as Mr Trump’s national security adviser but was fired after it was discovered he had misrepresented his contacts with a Russian diplomat to Vice-President Michael Pence.
