The chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence said Tuesday there are still no considerations underway to extend any kind of immunity agreement to President Trump’s former national security advisor Michael Flynn in exchange for his testimony.
North Carolina GOP Sen. Richard Burr’s statement came on the same day that the House Oversight Committee announced they had not received anything that would seem to document that Flynn properly reported income he made from foreign governments, or that he sought approval through the necessary channels.
When asked if there was any indication that Flynn might be willing to voluntarily meet with the Senate Intelligence Committee without immunity, Burr said, “We don’t know yet because we haven’t initiated the invitation.”
In late March, published reports indicated Flynn was seeking to testify before the House and Senate intelligence committees in exchange for some kind of immunity.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer on Tuesday defended the hiring of Flynn, saying many of the requests for documents regarding the former Army general were “ridiculous.”
