"Flynn claimed in his 2023 lawsuit that the FBI and federal prosecutors orchestrated a political witch hunt against him during its investigation into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia in 2016."
"Flynn admitted to making false statements to the FBI about having conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in 2016 and agreed to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller's Russian probe, but Flynn later withdrew that plea."
"The settlement comes less than a week after Mueller died at the age of 81. Trump celebrated his death about 30 minutes after on Truth Social, posting: Robert Mueller just died. Good, I'm glad he's dead."
Michael Flynn reached a financial settlement with the U.S. Justice Department regarding his $50 million lawsuit, which alleged a political witch hunt during the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia. The lawsuit will be dropped in exchange for undisclosed settlement funds. Flynn had previously admitted to making false statements to the FBI and later withdrew his plea. The DOJ moved to dismiss the case in 2020, and Flynn was pardoned by Trump. Flynn's lawsuit claimed the prosecution was unjustified and based on improper grounds.
