President Trump’s lawyers are preparing to attack the credibility of former national security adviser Michael Flynn if he claims Trump committed wrongdoing as part of his cooperation with special counsel Robert Mueller, according to a new report.
Three sources close to the matter told The Washington Post that Trump’s lawyers will look to label Flynn as a liar if he makes claims against Trump or other White House officials.
“He’s said it himself: He’s a liar,” one person working on Trump’s legal strategy told the Post.
The newspaper also reported that Trump’s legal team is privately saying that Flynn will be unable to point Mueller’s team to evidence of criminal acts by Trump or other campaign officials because documents turned over to the special counsel contain no evidence of a criminal conspiracy.
Earlier this month, Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators about his contacts with Russian officials.
As part of his plea deal, Flynn has agreed to fully cooperate with Mueller’s investigation into ties between Russia and Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

If Trump didn’t do anything wrong why is he so worried about Flynn?
He admitted regretting firing Flynn. And now he is a liar? So why did you have him working for you in the first place?
