Source says Flynn to invoke 5th Amendment
WASHINGTON -- Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn will invoke his 5th Amendment protection against self-incrimination as he notifies a Senate panel that he won't hand over documents in the probe into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.
The notification will come in a letter to the Senate Intelligence committee expected later Monday. The person providing details spoke on condition anonymity in order to discuss private interactions between Flynn and the committee.
Flynn's decision comes less than two weeks after the committee issued a subpoena for Flynn's personal documents.
