President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn has pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI.

Court documents released Friday show special counsel Robert Mueller charged Flynn with a single count of "willfully and knowingly" making false statements to the FBI on Jan. 24. Later Friday, Flynn pleaded guilty to that charge in a brief appearance in federal court.

The charge comes as part of Mueller's investigation into possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. As part of his plea deal, Flynn agreed to cooperate with Mueller and federal investigators in exchange for leniency at sentencing. The deal is contingent on prosecutors' satisfaction with his information.

Flynn resigned from his role in the Trump administration in February amid reports he misled Vice President Mike Pence about the nature of his conversations with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
