Ousted Trump National Security adviser Michael Flynn reportedly agrees to be interviewed by FBI and intelligence committees

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn has reportedly told the FBI and officials investigating President Donald Trump's alleged campaign ties to Russia that he would submit himself to be interviewed in exchange for immunity, according to officials cited by The Wall Street Journal on Thursday.

Flynn's attorney made the offer to the FBI and the intelligence committees in both the House and Senate, however, so far, none of the officials have accepted Flynn's terms, The Journal reported. One of the newspaper's sources said that given the nature of Flynn's willingness to come forward with his testimony, he may be in legal jeopardy for his short tenure as one of the top security officials in the US.

As a security adviser who handled matters of utmost sensitivity, Flynn had access to top-secret materials and was allegedly involved in discussions regarding potential lifting of sanctions on Russia that were initiated in the last weeks of President Barack Obama's administration.

Flynn eventually resigned, following reports that he misled Vice President Mike Pence and other White House officials about his phone conversations with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, during Trump's transition to the Oval Office.
