- Retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn on Friday filed a lawsuit against the federal government seeking damages over what he called Washington’s “wrongful and malicious” prosecution of him.
- Flynn’s complaint stems from the Department of Justice’s prosecution of him over a 2017 interview with the FBI. He initially pled guilty but requested to withdraw from the plea agreement after the emergence of exculpatory evidence .
- Flynn was eventually pardoned after the DOJ asked to dismiss the charges against him.
