Mueller-Flynn investigation - live updates: Special counsel releases key documents of former Trump advisor's FBI interview

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has urged a federal judge to reject an attempt by Michael Flynn “to minimise the seriousness” of him lying to the FBI.

Mr Mueller’s team was responding to a sentencing memo from Flynn’s lawyers criticising the FBI interviews with their client, saying agents did not provide him “with a warning of the penalties” for misleading investigators.

This comes just two days after former lawyer and fixer for Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, was sentenced to three years in jail.
