President Trump's former national security adviser, Mike Flynn, is
willing to testify to investigators in return for immunity, according to a report Thursday.
The Wall Street Journal cited officials in saying Flynn, through his attorney Robert Kelner, has made the offer to both the FBI and the House and Senate intelligence committees that are probing any possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
In a statement from Kelner, he didn't explicitly mention anything about testimony but said Flynn "certainly has a story to tell, and h
e very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit."
He would not comment on the details of the discussions between Flynn and the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, but stressed that those discussions are happening and that "it is important to acknowledge the circumstance in which those discussions are occurring."
He condemned the media, members of Congress and political critics for creating a "highly politicized, which hunt environment," and said
Flynn would not submit himself to questioning "without assurances against unfair prosecution."

It's unclear just who Flynn has had contact with.
Jack Langer, a spokesman for House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, confirmed to the Washington Examiner that
the congressman has not received Flynn's offer to testify.
