Washington Times columnist Mercedes Schlapp asked Friday on “Special Report with Bret Baier” why the Trump White House is talking about Michael Flynn and his potential immunity in any investigation at all.

“What is a little challenging to understand is why the president would tweet, talking about Michael Flynn and immunity in the same sentence when the president early on and Sean Spicer said we don’t have trust in Michael Flynn anymore. He mislead the vice president…”

Schlapp went on to say that she thinks Flynn is obviously just doing this to protect himself at this point.

“So why bring Michael Flynn back when Michael Flynn inside the White House when Michael Flynn is no longer part of the White House. And this immunity, this is about Michael Flynn protecting Michael Flynn. He’s just trying to protect himself.”
