(Source: AP/File)US President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn on Friday pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI sleuths in their probe into Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 presidential election. With this, Flynn became the first Trump White House official to make a guilty plea so far in a wide-ranging investigation spearheaded by special counsel Robert Mueller. His downfall was even faster as Flynn was sacked by Trump after just a month in the White House.
