Disgraced general and QAnon’s sometimes boyfriend (it’s complicated) Mike Flynn has filed a lawsuit attempting to block the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th domestic terrorist attack on Congress from getting his phone records, NBC News reports.
Flynn’s motion before a Florida federal court, to dismiss the committee’s subpoena, claims that the subpoena violates Flynn’s Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and his First Amendment right to free speech.
“Without intervention by this Court, General Flynn faces the harm of being irreparably and illegally coerced to produce information and testimony in violation of the law and his constitutional rights,” said the lawsuit.
Flynn is under subpoena to produce his personal records and other information relating to meetings he had with a number of individuals including Donald Trump, and committee chair Bennie Thompson informed Flynn he wants to question Flynn about what actions he and others took to confiscate voting machines and voting records, as he told Newsmax the day before the election he would do to prove election fraud.
During a December 2020 White House meeting, the letter said, “participants discussed seizing voting machines, declaring a national emergency, invoking certain national security emergency powers, and continuing to spread the message that the November 2020 election had been tainted by widespread fraud.”
