President Donald Trump said Thursday that he would consider bringing Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser, back into his administration in a different role.

Flynn, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), pleaded guilty on Dec. 1, 2017, to one count of lying to FBI agents during a Jan. 24, 2017 interview. However, documents released Wednesday fuel assertions from the president that Flynn was “tormented” by the FBI and that the bureau tried to “intentionally frame” him.
