Former national security adviser Michael Flynn filed a motion on Jan. 14 to withdraw his guilty plea in the case brought by special counsel Robert Mueller as part of the probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Flynn accused prosecutors of breaching the plea agreement under which he admitted to lying to the FBI regarding his communication with Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak in December 2016. His motion also indicated that the defense intends to submit a list of additional reasons for withdrawing the plea.
