Overview
- A Foreign Agents Registration Act form dated October 2025 and confirmed Tuesday says retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn registered to represent the Republic of Srpska and listed $100,000 per month in compensation.
- The filing was first posted by conservative blogger Scott McMahan and has since been amplified across media, thrusting the payment figure and Flynn’s role into the spotlight.
- Prominent pro-Trump voices reacted with surprise and criticism, with posts from figures such as Catturd and Sebastian Gorka questioning ethics and possible contractual limits on working for another government.
- Reporters noted geopolitical context: the Republic of Srpska is led by Milorad Dodik, widely described as close to Vladimir Putin, and Flynn recently hosted an event that featured Glenn Diesen, an associate of Russian ultranationalist Alexander Dugin.
- Flynn has not publicly responded to the disclosure, and the report has renewed legal and ethics questions because he once pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about contacts with Russian officials before receiving a presidential pardon.
