Bribery for Trump’s clemency: US investigation begins



[ad_1]

The United States Department of Justice launched an investigation into a possible bribery plot at the White House to apologize to President Donald Trump.

Former US National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has been pardoned by US President Donald Trump. Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was fired for lying to the FBI about Russia’s participation in the 2016 US presidential election.

The US Department of Justice has said it is not targeting any government official. According to Reuters, court documents described the matter as an “investigation into bribery for clemency.”

However, the 18-page version of the document that has been posted on the website for public viewing has half of the information covered. The readable part does not contain detailed information about anyone’s name or complaint.

Federal prosecutors in Washington have told the court they have found evidence of a bribery plot that seeks to offer “significant political benefits” in exchange for a presidential pardon or dispensation.

The announcement of the Justice Department investigation at the end of President Donald Trump’s term sparked further discussion, CNN reported.

However, the White House has not yet ruled on the matter.
