Today\u2019s admission of guilt by Flynn is a very serious development in the Mueller investigation. Flynn has admitted that he lied to the FBI while he was a top Trump Administration official about his contacts with Russia. Now we know why President Trump pressed former FBI Director James Comey to drop his investigation of Flynn and then fired Comey when he refused: an attempted obstruction of justice. I will continue working to stop the Trump Administration from interfering with the Mueller special counsel probe\u2019s independence, because the American people deserve the truth and nothing less.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://shea-porter.house.gov/media/press-releases/shea-porter-statement-michael-flynn-guilty-plea"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0552811436355114, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
