Sheldon Whitehouse: 'Reasonable' to think Flynn is already cooperating with Justice Department


Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., believes former national security adviser Mike Flynn might already be cooperating with the Justice Department's investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. But Whitehouse acknowledges there's no proof of that at the moment.


"There is at least a reasonable hypothesis that Mike Flynn is already cooperating with the Department of Justice investigation and perhaps even has been for some time," Whitehouse told CNN. "All the reporting indicates that they've got him on a false statement felony for what he told the FBI when they interviewed him in the White House."

He made those remarks after a week in which Flynn seems to have done little cooperating with either of the two congressional investigations, at least publicly. After Flynn invoked his Fifth Amendment rights in response to an earlier subpoena from the Senate Intelligence Committee, the committee issued two new subpoenas against two of Flynn's businesses.

Also this week, the House Intelligence Committee said they were drafting subpoenas to Flynn and his businesses as well.
