documented
At the direction of a senior transition official, Flynn asked Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak to avoid escalating after U.S. sanctions for election interference and later discussed Russia's response. Flynn then denied the sanctions discussion to Pence and made materially false statements to the FBI. The Mueller report found Russia chose not to retaliate after the request, while not charging Flynn for the contact itself.

Flynn asks Russia not to escalate after Obama imposes election-interference sanctions · Conduct formed the basis of Flynn's false-statement plea; Trump later pardoned him
documented
In a White House interview, Flynn falsely told FBI agents he did not ask Kislyak to refrain from escalating over sanctions and did not remember Russia later moderating its response; he also mischaracterized a U.N. Security Council request. Flynn twice admitted material falsity under oath before later seeking to withdraw his plea. The pardon ended criminal exposure without a trial on withdrawal allegations.

Flynn gives the FBI false answers about his Kislyak conversations · Guilty plea later withdrawn; prosecution targeted for dismissal; conviction covered by Trump pardon
reported
Flynn resigned after serving 24 days as national security adviser. The White House said the issue was erosion of trust because Flynn misled Pence and other officials about conversations with Kislyak, rather than the underlying contact alone. Flynn's letter said he had inadvertently given incomplete information; later admissions established false statements to the FBI.

convicted
Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced Stone to 40 months in prison, two years of supervised release conditioned on 250 hours of community service, and a $20,000 fine. She imposed punishment for obstruction, five false-statement counts, and witness tampering. Trump's later commutation prevented imprisonment and his pardon granted clemency, but neither changes the historical jury verdict and sentence.

charged
Federal prosecutors charged Bannon and three others with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering. The indictment alleged the campaign raised more than $25 million through representations that organizers would take no compensation, while Bannon used a nonprofit to route over $1 million and personal expenses. These were allegations against Bannon at this stage; Trump's 2021 pardon prevented a federal merits verdict.
