Report: Trump Learned of Flynn Plea on the News

Source: The Daily Beast



President Trump and his legal team learned about the apparent plea deal struck by former White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn through news reports Friday morning, according to ABC News. Flynn was charged with making false statements to the FBI, according to a new indictment filed by the special counsel’s office. Law enforcement officials said Flynn has turned himself in to the FBI, Reuters reported. He will reportedly plead guilty to the accusation that he misled the Bureau during a January 2017 interview.

are prolly terrified of telling him anything bad. Who would want to bring on one of his rages? So, they just make sure his lardass is parked in front of the teevee when important news breaks.
