Donald Trump and Michael Flynn are collaborating again.
No, the president and his former national security adviser aren’t formally working hand-in-hand. Nor are they on the same team. But as Trump continues to wage an all-out war on Montana’s Democratic Senator Jon Tester for the Senator’s role in derailing White House physician Ronny Jackson’s bid to serve as the next Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Flynn is set to go after the Montana Democrat from a different vantage point.
The retired Lieutenant General, who pled guilty to lying to the FBI while serving the Trump administration, will be hitting the campaign trail this coming week. And he will be doing so for Troy Downing, a Republican businessman and Air Force veteran competing to win the Republican nomination, next Sunday in Billings. This is the second time that Flynn has appeared at a campaign event for a Republican candidate this year. Previously, he spoke at an event for GOP candidate Omar Navarro, who is mounting a longshot bid to defeat Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA).
While Flynn is not exactly an in-demand hype man for Republican candidates across the country, his status as the most prominent victim of Robert Mueller’s probe has given him a certain cachet within Trump-loving circles.
