Increasing speculation that President Donald Trump's former national security advisor Michael Flynn could be in talks about a possible plea deal, ABC Newsreports that Flynn's lawyer met with members of special prosecutor Robert Mueller's team on Monday.
Late last week, the New York Timesreported that Flynn's legal team confirmed it was no longer communicating with Trump's attorneys--an indication, the newspaper noted, "that Mr. Flynn is cooperating with prosecutors or negotiating a deal."
As The Hillnotes, part of what's fueling speculation that Flynn is now looking to cooperate with Mueller, "is the fact that no charges have been filed against [him], despite what experts claim is almost-indisputable evidence of wrongdoing and reports Mueller has gathered enough evidence to indict."
