Trump says former adviser Flynn should seek immunity

US President Donald Trump on Friday supported the decision of his former national security adviser to seek immunity from prosecution in exchange for his testimony in congressional probes of possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Retired General Michael Flynn wants protection against “unfair prosecution” if he testifies before the intelligence committees of the US Senate and the House of Representatives, his lawyer, Robert Kelner, said on Thursday.

“Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!” Trump wrote in a tweet.

Senator Angus King, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said it was too soon to discuss immunity for Flynn.

Testimony from Flynn could help shed light on the conversations he had with Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak last year while national security adviser for Trump’s presidential campaign.

Flynn was forced to resign as national security adviser in February for failing to disclose talks with Kislyak about US sanctions on Moscow and misleading Vice President Mike Pence about the conversations, which occurred before Trump took office.

Congressional committees and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are also looking into allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 US election campaign.

Russia has denied allegations that it hacked emails of Democratic groups and released information to tip the presidential election toward Trump.

Trump, a Republican, has dismissed suggestions of links with Moscow as Democratic sour grapes for losing the election.

King criticized Trump’s remarks.

“This is not a witch hunt. This is an effort to get to the truth of some very important questions,” King, an independent, told CNN.


“There is no doubt whatsoever that the Russians were behind an effort to interfere in our elections,” he said. “To continue to deny that – it just flies in the face of all of the reality.”
