fbi believes that flynn lied on december29th when he said he did not refrain from escalating the situation in response to us sanctions. in addition to that, a week prior, on december 22nd, there was a conversation apparently charged with lying during that conversation with regard to the russian ambassador as well. catherine herridge watching all this out of washington, d.c. we will see general flynn in court at 10:30 eastern time. catherine, go ahead and frame it based on what we think we believe this does for the case overall. good morning. >> good morning. the first point is said based on my reporting in the last 72 hours, there's certainly been a sense among those close to the general that something was very eminent likely some kind of plea agreement with the government as a result of the special counsel investigation into russia. when you look closely at this paper work, what you see here is that the government is saying there was violation of 18 u.s.

statute it simply means that flynn lied to the fbi and the fbi had information that was overwhelmingly clear that was in conflict with flynn's statements. based on the timeline in december it appears at least one of those pieces of evidence is a telephone inter center and electronic communication that showed contrary to what flynn told the fbi. this is a very important moment in the special counsel investigation. flynn will become the most senior person within the trump administration to reach an agreement with special counsel over his actions with russia leading up to the transition in january bill. >> catherine, does this give us any indication that mueller is closer to concluding or just proceeding? >> reporter: well, nine is a very senior individual, and one of the t

understand what attaches to this particular plea. is there any, um, commitment to cooperate further in terms of what flynn knows about others within the trump administration, more senior than himself? or is this an agreement where there attaches a provision that he's plead guilty to this and in exchange the special counsel will not pursue additional charges or evidence that they uncovered in the course of their investigation. so i think we want to be cautious because we don't know which direction it would take but those would be among the options. >> apparently interview took place on january 24th of 2017. so that's within a week of the inauguration of the new administration. catherine thank you very much. >> you're welcome. >> we new about two weeks ago that the lawyers for michael flynn and the lawyers for the white house that had level of cooperation that communication had been cut off and we're told standard legal practice so

gave some in washington an indication that this was moving towards something and now we know. there will be a plea that will be entered guilty plea at 10:30 eastern time. we'll certainly follow that here on the fox news channel. this fox station for continuing coverage on this story. thank you for boeing with us. i'm bill, here in new york city. our coverage continues on cable on the knocks news channel. >> our coverage continues here on good day d.c. we of course will more on the national security adviser former national security adviser michael flynn expected to plead guilty to making false statements to the fbi. more when good day at 9a continues. ♪
