Flynn appears before Jan. 6 committee but doesn't answer questions
Source: CBS News
Onetime Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn appeared on Thursday before the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack, his attorney confirmed.
The deposition comes after the committee subpoenaed Flynn last year, requesting information about a December 2020 meeting he reportedly attended with then-President Trump in the Oval Office. Topics of discussion allegedly included seizing voting machines, declaring a national emergency and invoking certain national emergency powers.
"General Michael Flynn appeared before the January 6th Committee today in compliance with their subpoena and, on advice of counsel, exercised his 5th amendment right to decline to answer the Committee's questions," attorney David Warrington said in a statement.
Warrington claimed that during the deposition, committee staff "insinuated that General Flynn's decision to decline to answer their questions constituted an admission of guilt."

Washington (CNN)The Army is now acknowledging that Lt. Gen. Charles Flynn, the brother of President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn, was in the room for one of the key January 6 phone calls in which DC government and US Capitol Police were asking for National Guard troops to quell the unfolding violence at the US Capitol.
The decision-making has come under scrutiny as city and Capitol Police officials have alleged that the Pentagon was slow to respond, while the Pentagon and Army maintain they never denied or delayed requests for the National Guard.
In official timelines released by the Department of Defense in the wake of the riot, Charles Flynn, the deputy chief of staff of the Army, was not listed as participating in any of the calls that day about mobilizing the National Guard to respond to the riot.

A former National Guard official issued a blistering 36-page memo accusing Michael Flynns brother and another U.S. Army general of lying to Congress about the military response to the Jan. 6 insurrection, according to media reports.
Col. Earl Matthews, who served in the National Security Council and Pentagon during Donald Trumps administration, specifically targeted the Defense Departments Inspector General (IG) for what he calls an erroneous report protecting a top Army official who delayed sending the National Guard to the U.S. Capitol.

If he makes any plea deals it should include no cell phones for the rest of his life, no travel expenses paid for by third parties.
