Harvard law school professor Alan Dershowitz speculated Tuesday that former White House national security adviser Mike Flynn “will say anything” to get a deal from special counsel Robert Mueller in the Russia investigation.
“It’s not clear that Flynn has anything to offer,” Dershowitz told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. “He’s trying to save his son. He’s trying to save himself. He’ll say anything. He’ll not only sing, he’ll compose and create evidence if he has to do that in order to get a deal.”
Dershowitz called Flynn’s credibility “worthless” because he’s been accused of perjury for denying to the FBI that he discussed sanctions with Russia’s ambassador to the United States.
The New York Times reported Thursday that Flynn’s lawyers told Trump’s lawyers they will no longer share information about the special counsel’s investigation, signaling that Flynn may be cooperating with Mueller’s investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Trump’s lawyers believe Flynn may try to negotiate a deal because Flynn has indicated he’s worried charges might be brought against his son, Michael G. Flynn, who was chief of staff to his father.
