弗林的律師團不再與川普團隊合作

The legal team representing former national security adviser Michael Flynn has ended an agreement to share information with the White House about the ongoing Russia probe.

The New York Times first reported Thursday that the decision might mean that Flynn is cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible meddling by Russia in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and any potential ties between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

In major criminal investigations, defense lawyers routinely share information with each other. But it can become unethical to continue such communication if one of the potential targets is looking to negotiate a deal with prosecutors.

A deal with Flynn would give prosecutors insight into how President Donald Trump's team conducted itself during the campaign and the early days of the administration.

Flynn resigned from the Trump's administration in February after it was revealed that he misled Vice President Mike Pence about conversations he had with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.代表前國家安全顧問弗林的律師團終止了與白宮的一項協議，不再與白宮分享有關調查中的俄羅斯涉嫌干預美國選舉的信息。

《紐約時報》星期四最先報道了這一消息。這個決定可能意味着弗林正在與特別檢察官穆勒的調查合作。調查覈心是確定俄羅斯是否干預了2016年的美國大選，以及川普競選團隊是否與莫斯科有任何聯繫。

在重大的刑事調查中，被告律師之間經常互相分享信息。但是如果任何一方有可能與檢察官談判達成交易，這種溝通和信息分享就可能違背道德準則了。

如果弗林與檢方達成交易，檢方將可能進一步瞭解川普總統的團隊在競選期間以及剛入主白宮時有哪些活動。

弗林2月辭去了在川普政府內擔任的職務，因爲此前有披露的消息說，弗林在他與俄羅斯大使基斯利亞克會面的問題上誤導了副總統彭斯。
