Flynn reportedly to turn over business documents to Senate intel committee

NOW PLAYINGTwo new subpoenas for Michael Flynn


Former national security adviser Michael Flynn will hand over records from two of his businesses to the Senate intelligence committee, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

The Journal, citing a person familiar with the matter, could begin turning over the documents to Senate investigators as soon as next week.

Flynn, who was fired as national security adviser in February, rebuffed an initial subpoena from the committee by invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. The committee's leaders responded by subpoenaing records related to Flynn's lobbying businesses, which are not subject to Fifth Amendment protections.

Flynn's attorneys had argued the earlier request was too broad and would have required Flynn to turn over information that could have been used against him.

The House and Senate intelligence committees, as well as the FBI, are conducting an investigation into Russian activities during the 2016 election campaign, including whether members of Trump's campaign team colluded with Russian officials.
