(Bastien Inzaurralde/The Washington Post)A lawyer for former national security adviser Michael Flynn has ended his communications with President Trump’s legal team, a sign that Flynn may be preparing to cooperate with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s probe. The call from Flynn lawyer Robert Kelner to Trump attorney John Dowd came Wednesday evening and is a potentially ominous sign for Trump and his close associates. Even as he became an adviser to Trump’s presidential campaign, his consulting firm was paid to promote the interests of the Turkish government. Flynn served 24 days as Trump’s national security adviser, but was forced to resign after acknowledging that he had secretly discussed sanctions with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during Trump’s presidential transition in December.
