It is the first time Mueller’s team has requested specific White House documents pertaining to a close Trump associate. The report also claimed that investigators were interviewing witnesses over claims Flynn’s company, the Flynn Intel Group, had been paid $530,000 by the Turkish government as part of a campaign to discredit the man accused of orchestrating last year’s failed coup.
