Prosecutors release Flynn voicemail transcript that Mueller reviewed in obstruction probe
Federal prosecutors have released the full transcript of a voicemail from one of President Trump's attorneys to an attorney for Michael Flynn that special counsel Robert Mueller examined as part of his obstruction inquiry.
The voicemail was left for Robert Kelner, a lawyer for the former national security adviser, after Flynn withdrew from a joint defense agreement with Trump's attorneys and began cooperating in Mueller's investigation.
According to the voicemail transcript, Trump's lawyer asked Flynn's attorney for a "heads up" if he knew of information that "implicates the president," describing it as a "national security issue." The president's attorney also said that Trump's feeling toward Flynn "still remains."
Mueller examined the voicemail as part of his investigation into whether Trump or others obstructed justice, in which Flynn provided information. Mueller ultimately did not make a decision on whether Trump obstructed the investigation.
"It wouldn't surprise me if you've gone on to make a deal with, and uh, work with the government," Trump's counsel, identified in news reports as John Dowd, said, according to the transcript. "I understand that you can't join the joint defense; so that's one thing. If, on the other hand, we have, there's information that ... implicates the president, then we've got a national security issue."
