Now that President Trump has commuted the prison term of Roger Stone, many are wondering if Michael Flynn is next.
Flynn is Trump’s first national security advisor and also was the target of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
When it comes to a potential pardon of Flynn, who was convicted of lying to FBI agents, Trump said Monday, “I don’t have a decision to make” about a potential pardon for Flynn “until I find out what’s going to happen” with Flynn’s attempt to get his conviction tossed, CNBC reports.
“I think he’s doing very well with respect to his case,” Trump told reporters. “I hope that he’s going to be able to win it.”
The Justice Department is asking Judge Emmett Sullivan to dismiss the conviction. After he was ordered to dismiss the case by a federal appeals court panel, Sullivan requested the court’s full line-up to reconsider the decision.
Trump has long insisted that the Mueller investigation was a hoax, even though numerous people have been convicted as a result of the probe.
