The Senate Intelligence Committee has turned down Michael Flynn's request for immunity from prosecution in exchange for his testimony in the panel's probe into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election, congressional sources told NBC News.
Flynn's lawyer was told immunity was "wildly preliminary" and "not on the table" at this point, a senior congressional official said, according to NBC. It does not necessarily rule out immunity at a later date, as the investigation is ongoing.
