Justice Dept. Settles Flynn Lawsuit for $1.2 Million, Citing 'Historic Injustice'

• The Justice Department settled a lawsuit from Michael Flynn, former national security adviser to Donald Trump, for approximately $1.2 million.
• Flynn had sought at least $50 million in his 2023 lawsuit, alleging malicious prosecution in his criminal case.
• The settlement marks a reversal for the Biden administration's Justice Department, which previously sought to dismiss Flynn's complaint.
• The Justice Department called the settlement an "important step in redressing" the "historic injustice" of the Russia investigation.
• Flynn, pardoned by Trump, had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about conversations with a Russian diplomat.
