Lawyers for former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn argued Tuesday that their client deserved to receive no more than a year of probation and 200 hours of community service for making false statements to federal investigators. He was fired as national security adviser on Feb. 13 of that year for misleading Vice President Mike Pence and other White House officials about his contacts. Flynn's lawyers also attached seven documents related to Flynn's military service, including his 2002 Bronze Star Medal citation. Flynn was under investigation by the Justice Department for that work when he became national security adviser. As part of Flynn’s plea deal, he agreed to cooperate with Mueller’s office on “any and all matters” deemed relevant.
