The US Department of Justice is reportedly discussing a settlement with former national security adviser Michael Flynn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael Flynn, former national security adviser to US President Donald Trump, is seeking $50 million from the American federal government, Bloomberg reported on Friday, citing court filings. The case is connected with a prosecution he describes as politically motivated and links to attempts to challenge the 2020 election results, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

The legal cases against Trump’s campaign team were part of a broader crackdown on efforts to contest the election, including probes related to the January 6 Capitol attack. Trump and his allies repeatedly claimed fraud after losing the vote to Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

The Department of Justice is reportedly negotiating a settlement of Flynn’s claim in a shift from the previous administration’s approach, when government lawyers fought the case.<\/p>\n

Apart from Flynn’s lawsuit, the agency is reportedly trying to settle a case brought by former senior White House lawyer Stefan Passantino, who claims that a government investigation into the 2020 election and January 6 damaged his reputation through leaked private information.<\/p>\n

Court filings indicate that no specific financial compensation demands have been publicly disclosed in his case, Bloomberg noted.<\/p>\n

Flynn and Passantino filed lawsuits in 2023. Flynn lost the first round of his civil damages suit last year, and the US attorney’s office in Atlanta continued defending a judge’s dismissal of Passantino’s case through June.<\/p>\n

Flynn initially pleaded guilty to making false statements acknowledging that he had misrepresented his contacts with a Russian official. He later reversed his position and challenged the charges. Trump pardoned him in late 2020, bringing the case to a close.<\/p>\n

The extensive legal action against Trump’s team has affected numerous allies, including figures involved in the post-election unrest and protests at Capitol Hill. Many of them were pardoned either recently or at the end of Trump’s first term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
