Special Counsel Investigation Expands To Flynn Business Associates
We Just Got Proof The Special Counsel Investigation Is Expanding Dramatically.
The FBI’s investigation into the Trump administration and collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the election is expanding, quickly.
According to a new Reuters report, Special Counsel Mueller “is expanding his probe to include a grand jury investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.”
“Federal prosecutors in Virginia are investigating a deal between Flynn and Turkish businessman Ekim Alptekin as part of a grand jury criminal probe, according to a subpoena seen by Reuters,” Reuters reports.
That means that the investigation is expanding beyond just contacts with Russia and into the financial connections of people at the center of the investigation.
The expansion into the finances of those being investigated has the potential to uncover significantly more potential criminal activity, particularly when you consider that many members of the Trump team, including Trump himself, have vast shadowy international business ties that could be connected to Russia.
Flynn was paid almost $600,000 by the Turkish businessman, who has significant connections to Russia, to act as a foreign agent during the campaign.
Reuters went on to report, “The grand jury in Virginia has issued subpoenas to some of Flynn’s business associates involved in the work for Inovo, two people familiar with the probe say. The subpoena seen by Reuters seeks bank records, documents and communications related to Flynn, his company, Flynn Intel Group, Alptekin and Inovo.”
