AP source: Flynn breaks with Trump team on Mueller probe

Flynn’s legal team communicated the decision this week, said a person familiar with the move who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

The decision could be a sign that Flynn is moving to cooperate with Mueller’s investigation or negotiate a deal for himself.
