Report: Michael Flynn will decline Senate subpoena and invoke 5th Amendment
  • 7 years ago
Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn will invoke the Fifth Amendment in refusing a Senate committee's subpoena to hand over documents to a Senate panel investigating Russian involvement in the presidential election. The Fifth Amendment protects an individual's right not to give testimony that may implicate him or her in a crime. Trump fired Flynn after it was revealed that he lied both publicly and privately to Vice President Mike Pence about the nature of his contacts with Russian government officials.
