Former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who urged Donald Trump to declare martial law and seize voting machines in the final weeks of his presidency, appeared before the Jan. 6 select committee on Thursday but pleaded the Fifth to avoid self-incrimination, his attorneys said.
“General Michael Flynn appeared before the January 6th Committee today in compliance with their subpoena and, on advice of counsel, exercised his 5th amendment right to decline to answer the Committee’s questions,” Flynn’s lawyer David Warrington said in a statement.
