is suing the U.S. government on grounds of wrongful prosecution, according to a new legal filing obtained bystems from a 2016 FBI investigation during the Obama administration over Flynn’s suspected ties to Russia. In 2017, Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI regarding his association with Russian contacts.
The filing states that as a result of the government’s actions Flynn was “falsely branded as a traitor to his country, lost at least tens of millions of dollars of business opportunities and future lifetime earning potential, [and] was maliciously prosecuted and spent substantial monies in his own defense.
The suit also paints Flynn as a “hands-on disruptor at DIA” who had publicly criticized the “the politicization of the intelligence community.” The filing alleges that the FBI and prosecutors working under special counsel Robert Mueller, targeted him for political reasons and considered him a “direct threat” to “exposing their prior and ongoing efforts to derail and discredit President Trump.”
