Attorneys for Michael Flynn say that a daily “escalating public frenzy against him” and the Justice Department’s appointment of a special counsel have created a legally dangerous environment for him to cooperate with a Senate investigation.
That’s according to a letter obtained by the Associated Press that was written on behalf of the former national security advisor under President Trump.
The letter, sent Monday by Flynn’s legal team to the Senate Intelligence Committee, lays out the case for Flynn to invoke his 5th Amendment protection against self-incrimination and his decision not to produce documents in response to a congressional subpoena.
The letter says that the context of the Senate’s investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election threatens that “any testimony he provides could be used against him.”
