President Trump on Friday encouraged former National Security Adviser Mike Flynn to ask for immunity to in the investigation into Russia’s interference in the presidential campaign because the investigation is now a “witch hunt.”
“Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!” Trump said on Twitter.

Reports surfaced Thursday night that Flynn is looking for immunity in order to speak about what he knows about Russian involvement in the election.
Flynn served as Trump’s national security adviser for a month before resigning. Flynn had come under fire because he spoke multiple times with the Russian ambassador to the United States and didn’t reveal the extent of those conversations to Vice President Pence.
