Weeks before he’s gone, President Donald Trump has issued a slew of controversial pardons.
The onetime national security adviser later tried to withdraw his plea to lying to the FBI.

House Democrats want Don McGahn to testify as part of its investigation into potential obstruction of justice by President Trump.
Strzok played a pivotal role in the Russia investigation and became a regular target of Trump's tweets.
“Russia’s actions were a threat to America’s democracy,” Mueller wrote in response to Trump's criticism. “It was critical that they be investigated.”
"Your personal feelings don't dictate who Alabama picks as their senator, the people of Alabama do," sniped Sessions after his ex-boss again endorsed a rival.
