The Justice Department has reportedly reached a settlement of approximately $1.2 million with Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser to Donald Trump.
Flynn had previously pleaded guilty to lying about phone conversations with a top Russian diplomat during Trump’s first term, though he was later pardoned.
The settlement resolves a 2023 lawsuit in which Flynn alleged malicious prosecution, seeking at least $50 million. The resolution represents a significant reversal in the Justice Department’s position on the case.
No further details on the settlement amount were disclosed in court filings, but sources familiar with the matter confirmed the total at roughly $1.2 million.
