Over the past few weeks, both Flynn and Powell met with the outgoing commander-in-chief and discussed their efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential elections.
Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general and Pres. Trump’s former national security advisor. He pleaded guilty to lying to agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about his communications with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. before Trump was sworn into office. The president pardoned him in November.
Powell is helping Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer and ardent supporter, to overturn the results of election. She filed lawsuits claiming election fraud in battleground states.
