Robert Mueller, the special prosecutor in charge of the Russia election meddling probe, recommended Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s former national security advisor Michael Flynn face no jail time due to his “substantial” cooperation with the investigation.
Mueller said in a court document that Flynn, who admitted last year to lying about his contacts with Russians in the weeks after Trump’s November 2016 election victory, had helped in his and other unspecified federal criminal investigations, including being interviewed 19 times.
In a memorandum to a Washington federal court on Flynn’s upcoming sentencing, Mueller also said that despite his “serious” offense, the retired three-star general and former Pentagon intelligence chief had a strong record of military and public service.
