Is Michael Flynn cooperating with Robert Mueller in Russian meddling probe

U.S Nov 25: In a sign that former US national security adviser Michael Flynn could be cooperating with the US special counsel probing Russian meddling in the 2016 election, his lawyers have stopped sharing information with the legal team of his erstwhile boss, President Donald Trump.

It's normal for lawyers of people facing similar allegations to share information, but they must stop when any of them begins cooperating with prosecutors. This new development in itself may not mean that Flynn is cooperating or negotiating a deal, because negotiations can break down.



If Flynn is indeed cooperating, he could grant special counsel Robert Mueller and his investigators their best information to date as an insider who began working for Trump from an early stage of his campaign, and on the presidential transition and the early days of the presidency.
