Flynn's attorney, Robert Kelney, was the first to call the scenario "a witch hunt" when he mentioned that Flynn "certainly has a story to tell and wants to tell it" but should seek immunity to deal with a "highly politicized, witch hunt environment." The FBI has been investigating Russian interference in the U.S. elections and Trump's possible ties to the Kremlin since July, though, and Flynn already admitted to lobbying on behalf of the Turkish government during his time as a Trump advisor.
