Michael Flynn, the onetime national security adviser to Donald Trump who pleaded guilty last December to lying to the FBI, is planning a “comeback tour,” even as special counsel Robert Mueller’s team continues to postpone his sentencing hearing.
Last month, Flynn returned to the campaign trail for the first time since his guilty plea, endorsing far-right fringe activist Omar Navarro as the GOP’s challenge to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA).
Jack Burkman, a GOP lobbyist told Politico, “It’s the beginning of a comeback tour for Michael Flynn.”
The former national security adviser, who lied to the FBI about his conversations with Russia ambassador Sergey Kislyak, is now cooperating with Mueller.. As he awaits his sentencing—currently postponed until May, Flynn says he’s “doing great.”
At his speech endorsing Navarro, he declined to discuss the Mueller investigation in detail.
“What I’m not here to do is, I’m not here to complain about who has done me wrong or how unfair I’ve been treated or how unfair the entire process has been,” Flynn said. “It is what it is. And my previous statements they stand for themselves.”
