Checking the Facts

Mon Jul 8 2024

 
Michael Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general and former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, served as Trump's national security adviser for less than a month in 2017. He pleaded guilty later that year to lying to the FBI about his interactions with Russia's ambassador to the United States in the weeks before Trump took office, then tried to withdraw that plea. Trump pardoned him in 2020.

The form has been digitally altered to include Flynn's name. Trump hasn't picked a running mate as of July 5.
