Michael Flynn Sr. is already facing intense legal scrutiny. It is well documented that Flynn Sr. failed to disclose numerous foreign contacts. It was revealed last spring that he served as a foreign agent for a Turkish business. In another instance he gave a paid speech in Moscow for the Russian news outlet, Russia Today. Flynn Jr. accompanied his father on that trip.
The House Democrat’s Letter
And today, House Democrats have released a letter sent to Flynn’s legal team and business associates detailing yet another undisclosed foreign contact. According to the letter, Flynn traveled to Egypt in 2015 to promote a U.S.-Russian business deal involving nuclear reactor construction in the Middle East. “It appears that General Flynn violated federal law by omitting this trip and these foreign contacts from his security clearance renewal application in 2016 and concealing them from security clearance investigators who interviewed him,” the letter reads.
The letter was signed by the ranking members of the Committees on House Foreign Affairs and House Oversight, Eliot Engel (D-NY) and Elijah Cummings (D-MD), respectively. They also notified Flynn’s lawyer and associates that they have sent their conclusions to Robert Mueller.
