The special counsel team investigating possible collusion between Donald Trump and Russia appears to be focusing on whether the president instructed National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to lie to the FBI.

The bombshell revelation, tucked in the middle of an NBC News report, could spell serious trouble for the president if, in fact, he encouraged Flynn to lie to the FBI. Flynn has been charged with lying to the FBI about meeting with a Russian ambassador in December and is cooperating with the special counsel’s team.

Since it’s illegal to lie to the FBI, Trump could find himself in serious legal trouble for directing Flynn to be untruthful to the bureau.
