President Trump applauded Michael Flynn's move to hire a new lawyer who has been a fierce critic of the FBI’s probe of the former national security adviser.
President Donald Trump on Thursday hailed Michael Flynn's move to hire a new lawyer who has been a fierce critic of the FBI’s probe of the former national security adviser.
Flynn continues to be the recipient of the president's public support despite his having been fired for having lied to Vice President Mike Pence about his conversation with the Russian ambassador. Trump’s tweet comes less than a week after federal prosecutors released the audio of a voicemail left by former Trump lawyer John Dowd for one of Flynn’s attorneys just after Flynn withdrew from a joint defense agreement with the president in order to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller. In the voicemail, Dowd appeals to Flynn lawyer Robert Kelner for a "heads up" on information that could implicate the president and compromise "national security.
