Retired General Mike Flynn reaches $1.25M settlement with feds over Russia collusion pursuit

[Just The News] Retired General Mike Flynn on Wednesday settled his lawsuit accusing the federal government of malicious prosecution during the now-discredited Russia collusion case and will receive $1.25 million in compensation.

Flynn, who was forced to resign as President Donald Trump's first national security advisor after a stellar career as a three-star general, overseeing the Defense Intelligence Agency, told Just the News he felt vindicated by the settlement after enduring what he called "the Russian Hoax FBI lawfare against me."

"Nothing can fully compensate for the hell that my family and I have endured over these many years—the relentless attacks, the destruction of reputations, the financial ruin, and the profound personal toll inflicted upon us all," he said. "No amount of money or formal resolution can erase the pain caused by a prosecution that should never have been brought."

"This ordeal stemmed from partisan government officials in a coordinated effort to pursue an innocent man as part of a broader campaign to undermine President Trump and his administration. It was a relentless, partisan pursuit that weaponized federal law enforcement in a brazen and unjust manner," he said.

Flynn sued the DOJ for $50 million in 2023 for malicious and politicized prosecution by Special Prosecutor Robert Muel

Stray gamma rays at Just The News, I guess. That’s meant to be Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller.

Flynn thanked the Trump DOJ for entering into a settlement.
