It also represents a stark turnabout in position for a #DOJ that during the #Biden admin had pressed a judge to dismiss the complaint. AG #PamBondi, a fmr personal lawyer for #Trump, has been a vocal critic of the #Russia investigation in which #MichaelFlynn was charged & the #FBI & DOJ over the last year have pushed out ofcls who participated in #criminal inquiries of Trump.

Court papers filed Wednesday do not reveal the settlement amount, but a person familiar with the matter…confirmed the total as about $1.2 million.

The settlement resolves a 2023 lawsuit in which Flynn sought at least $50 million & asserted that the criminal case against him amounted to a malicious prosecution.

[if you played #guilty, then you are admitting that you broke the law. So how could it be malicious prosecution?]
