Michael Flynn's lawyer reportedly met with Mueller's team

Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn's lawyer met with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team Monday, ABC News reports. It's the latest sign that the two parties are brokering a plea deal.

The backdrop: Flynn — who was ousted from his White House post after he discussed U.S. sanctions with then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak — has been a focus of Mueller's Russia probe. The New York Times reported Thursday that Flynn's lawyers have cut ties with Trump's lawyers — another sign that Flynn is cooperating with Mueller, or plans to.
