特朗普前顾问迈克尔·弗林与美国司法部又达成一项和解协议——此次涉及陆军扣留的逾3.8万美元退休金。此前官方查明，这名前将军2015年在一场与俄罗斯政府有关联的活动中发表演讲并获利。
此次新和解协议出台前不久，弗林刚与特朗普任内的司法部达成另一项和解，获得超100万美元赔偿。此前他因遭受不当起诉起诉政府。弗林指控，在特朗普政府初期，联邦调查局在调查俄罗斯干预2016年大选期间试图设套诱捕他。
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）已联系弗林的律师置评。
弗林获得的赔偿可能为其他人提供了范本，这些人原本打算通过司法部今年早些时候设立的现已停摆的反滥权基金申请赔偿。该基金面向那些认为自己遭受司法部不公对待的人群。

该基金宣布设立后不久，就遭到共和党议员的猛烈批评。代理司法部长托德·布兰奇随后告知国会，该基金已终止。尽管布兰奇作出了上述保证，但一名联邦法官仍要求布兰奇提交书面宣誓声明，证实该基金确已停摆。截至目前，布兰奇拒绝了这一要求。
在谈及该基金的终止时，布兰奇提出了其他可供司法部指称受害者求助的途径，包括像弗林最初提起的那样提起民事诉讼。
弗林并非唯一与司法部达成诉讼和解的特朗普盟友。今年4月，司法部向特朗普前助手卡特·佩奇支付了超100万美元赔偿。佩奇此前起诉政府，因其2016年因与俄罗斯方面的联系遭到政府存在缺陷的监视。
根据法庭记录，弗林此次的和解协议仍在敲定当中。
反滥权基金是今年早些时候司法部与特朗普达成和解的产物。此前一名美国国税局承包商将特朗普及其他多人的税务信息泄露给媒体，该基金由此设立。2024年，这名承包商被判处5年监禁。
尽管布兰奇作出了种种努力，但随着他即将迎来确认担任司法部长、摘掉“代理”头衔的参议院听证会，他仍因该基金和此次和解协议面临尖锐批评和质疑。
批评人士仍在质疑布兰奇与此次和解相关的一份备忘录，该备忘录阻止特朗普及其家族和公司就过往纳税申报情况接受美国国税局的任何调查。
Justice Department reaches another settlement with Trump adviser Michael Flynn

Former Trump adviser Michael Flynn has reached another settlement with the Justice Department — this time for over $38,000 in retirement funds the Army had withheld from the former general after officials found he earned money from speaking at an event tied to the Russian government in 2015.
The new settlement comes on the heels of a separate settlement between Flynn and Trump’s Justice Department for over $1 million after he sued the government for wrongful prosecution. Flynn alleged the FBI tried to entrap him in the early days of the Trump administration, as investigators probed Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election.
CNN has reached out to lawyers for Flynn.
Flynn’s payouts could serve as a playbook for those who intended to apply for compensation through the now-defunct anti-weaponization fund the Justice Department set up earlier this year for those who believe they were victimized by the DOJ.

Shortly after it was announced, and amid a flurry of criticism from Republican lawmakers, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told members of Congress the fund was dead. Despite Blanche’s assurances, a federal judge has asked Blanche to provide a sworn statement declaring the fund has been defunct. Blanche has so far refused.
In discussing the death of the fund, Blanche has suggested other paths for people who were alleged victims of the Justice Department — including through civil lawsuits like the one Flynn originally filed.
Flynn is not the only Trump ally to settle a lawsuit with the Justice Department. In April, the Justice Department awarded former Trump aide Carter Page more than $1 million after he sued over the government’s flawed surveillance of him in 2016 due to his Russian contacts.
Flynn’s settlement is still being ironed out, according to court records.
The anti-weaponization fund was established earlier this year as part of a settlement with Trump after his and many other people’s tax information was leaked to media outlets by an IRS contractor. In 2024, the contractor was sentenced to 5 years in prison.
Despite his efforts, Blanche continues to face sharp criticism and questions over the fund and settlement as he nears a Senate confirmation hearing to become the attorney general, removing “acting” from his job title.
Critics are still raising concerns over a memo from Blanche tied to the settlement blocking Trump, his family and companies from any IRS investigations over past tax filings.
