Flynn will testify that, at a minimum, he was instructed by Trump transition officials to make direct overtures to the Kremlin. His guilty plea is expected to result in testimony against those officials and, perhaps, Trump himself.

Unlike other former campaign aides ensnared in the Russia scandal, Flynn’s closeness to the president cannot be dismissed. Despite warnings from the Obama administration not to hire the guy, Trump named him his national security adviser.
