New developments in the russia probe led by special counsel robert mueller. Lawyers for former National Security advisor Michael Flynn have formally cut ties with President Trumps personal legal team saying they can no longer discuss muellers investigation. The news was first reported by the new york times. The paper says this could be a sign flynn is cooperating with the special counsel. Legal experts tell nbc news it is not unusual for defense teams to share common information for separate clients until either party is unwilling or unable to do so under the law. President trumps personal attorney refused to give specifics regarding the discussion between the two legal teams, but said the change came as no surprise. He added, what was not entirely unexpected was that flynn may be discussing a plea with special counsel. And no one should draw the conclusion that this means anything about general flynn cooperating against the president. The white house special counsel had no comment on the matter because it involves private defense of the president. Flynns attorney also declined to comment. The shopping frenzy is officially on.
