The federal judge in Florida has thrown out a million lawsuit brought by ex-U.S. National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Flynn had sued the federal government, alleging that he had been unfairly prosecuted for providing false information to the FBI regarding his discussions with Russian government representatives.

Flynn in 2017 pleaded guilty to to one felony count of “willfully and knowingly making materially false statements and omissions to the Federal Bureau of Investigation” regarding conversations he had with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States.

He was pardoned by Donald Trump in November 2020.

Flynn filed the lawsuit in 2023, claiming he was the victim of “malicious prosecution and gross abuse of process” and sought “accountability and damages against the United States for these wrongs committed against General Flynn through its agents and agencies.”

“He was falsely branded as a traitor to his country, lost at least tens of millions of dollars of business opportunities and future lifetime earning potential, was maliciously prosecuted and spent substantial monies in his own defense, and has suffered and will continue to suffer mental and emotional pain for the rest of his life,” the suit stated.
