		</div><p>Former Trump administration national security adviser Michael Flynn has disclosed he earned more than $1.3m for work for political groups and government contractors, as well as for speeches to Russian companies and lobbying for a firm owned by a Turkish businessman.</p>
<p>Mr Flynn&#8217;s recent financial history, made available on Saturday by the White House, comes amid his effort to win immunity from congressional probers in exchange for his co-operation with official inquiries into contacts between Russia and President Donald Trump&#8217;s election campaign in 2016.</p>
<p>The new disclosures show that Mr Flynn declared more than $827,000 from his work for the Flynn Intel Group, a consulting firm that he and partners set up in 2015.</p>
<p>The company filed as a foreign agent last month with the Justice Department, acknowledging that its lobbying work last year probably benefited the government of Turkey even as Mr Flynn was advising Mr Trump&#8217;s presidential campaign.</p>
<p>The disclosures detail Mr Flynn&#8217;s financial activities dating back to 2014, including his 2015 work for Russia&#8217;s state-supported television network and speeches to two other Russian companies.</p>
<p>Mr Flynn has been interviewed by the FBI, which has been investigating allegations of contacts last year between Trump campaign officials and Russian officials and surrogates.</p>
<p>The White House released two filings for Mr Flynn on Saturday. One was filed while he was still in the administration. The other was filed on Friday, more than a month after Mr Trump fired Mr Flynn as national security adviser.</p>
<p>Mr Trump has said he asked Mr Flynn to step down because he misled the vice president about a conversation he had with the Russian ambassador to the US during the transition. Flynn lawyer Robert Kelner said that Mr Flynn&#8217;s first filing was a draft that normally would have been revised through a consultation between the White House counsel&#8217;s office and the Office of Government Ethics.</p>
<p>&#8220;Because he resigned, that usual consultation process was suspended. When the White House contacted him this week and asked him to complete the process he did so,&#8221; Mr Kelner said.</p>
<p>The White House on Friday began releasing scores of disclosures from Trump administration officials.<br />
Mr Flynn declared last month in a filing with the Justice Department that his company&#8217;s lobbying for a Dutch-based firm owned by a Turkish businessman &#8220;could be construed to have principally benefited the Republic of Turkey&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Flynn&#8217;s client, Ekin Alptekin, told the Associated Press that the decision to file as a foreign agent had come under pressure from Justice Department officials.</p>
<p>The Daily Caller reported on Friday that Justice Department officials contacted Mr Flynn on November 30.<br />
A document obtained by the media site under the Freedom of Information Act quoted Justice Department concern about a pre-election op-ed that Mr Flynn authored stressing Turkish government aims and &#8220;potential ties between Lt. Gen. Flynn and others who might be acting on behalf of the government of Turkey&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Flynn reported assets worth between $1.2m and $2.4m during the last year. He also reported that he served as a consultant for the FBI and received more than $5,000 in compensation from the bureau.<br />
Mr Kelner said the FBI compensation was for a speaking event in 2015 and training Mr Flynn provided to the bureau.</p>
<p>Mr Flynn reported between $750,000 and $1.5m in mortgage debt related to his personal home and a rental property. He also had a line of credit between $15,000 and $50,000, the filing shows.</p>
<p>In a separate filing to the Justice Department last month, Mr Flynn and his business detailed $530,000 worth of lobbying work for Inovo BV, the Turkish firm owned by Alptekin. On his new disclosure, Mr Flynn said only that he personally earned compensation in excess of $5,000 from Inovo BV.</p>
<p>Mr Flynn&#8217;s ties to Russia have been scrutinised by the FBI and are under investigation by the House and Senate intelligence committees. Both committees are looking into Russia&#8217;s meddling in the 2016 presidential election and any ties between Trump associates and the Kremlin.</p>
