Former President Trump National security adviser, Michael Flynn was reported to have met with Turkish official to hold an extradition plan that will see fugitive Turkish cleric, Fethullah Gulen handed over to Turkish Pres. Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Former CIA Director James Woolsey confirmed he attended the meeting with officials from right-wing party members of Erdogan, promising that the cleric will be extradited to Turkey once Donald Trump assume his role as the president of the United States.
The "dead of the night" operation was to circumvent US extradition laws, and the meeting took place on September 19th, Woolsey said he was startled at the operation as it startled into potential illegal territory. Woolsey said;
A covert step in the dead of night to whisk this guy away.Gulen is wanted in Turkey for allegedly aiding last summer’s failed military coup against the Erdogan regime.
It isn’t known who raised the idea or what Mr. Flynn concluded about it.
Flynn was asked to step down from Trump's administration, 26 days after Donald Trump assume the role of President, after it was revealed that he lied to Vice-president, Michael Pence about his conversation with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
