DOJ Agrees to Pay $1.25 Million Settlement to Michael Flynn

The US Justice Department has agreed to pay $1.25 million to Michael Flynn, a conservative activist and former official in the first Trump administration who sought millions of dollars from the government for what he alleged was a wrongful prosecution effort, according to a person familiar with the settlement.

Lawyers for the government and for Flynn notified a federal judge in Florida on Wednesday that they had reached an agreement and that it would involve the payment of “settlement funds,” but didn’t publicly disclose the amount or any other terms at the time.
