The son of Michael Flynn, President Trump's former national security adviser, is a subject of the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials, four current and former government officials told NBC News.
Three of the officials said investigators are focusing on the work Michael G. Flynn, 34, did for his father's lobbying firm, Flynn Intel Group. A former business associate said Michael G. Flynn was his father's chief of staff and played a major role in running Flynn Intel Group. He is married with a son, lives in Northern Virginia, and received an associate's degree in golf course management and a bachelor's degree from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, NBC News reports. He is also known to tweet inflammatory statements and spread conspiracy theories
