Flynn Lobbied For Turkey While Advising Trump Campaign
Disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn just notified the Justice Department retroactively, that he did work that may have benefited the government of Turkey.
Flynn notified the government on Wednesday that it had done work for a company named Inovo BV in the Netherlands run by Turkish businessman Kamil Alptekin.
Michael Flynn worked for the organization with close ties to Turkey from August through mid-November and Flynn’s company received $530,000 for its work.
Flynn was an adviser to the Trump campaign at that time.
According to The Hill:
On Sept. 19, Flynn’s firm met with a “group of government officials from Turkey for the purpose of understanding better the political climate in Turkey at the time, as background for the project.”
Two months later, Flynn penned an op-ed article in The Hill entitled “Our ally Turkey is in crisis and needs our support,” which the DOJ filing says was “ based, in part, on the research conducted by Flynn Intel Group under the Inovo engagement.”
Flynn was fired by Trump last month when it was revealed that he lied about his communications with the Russian ambassador.
