        A federal judge is making sure that former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn entered his guilty plea knowingly and voluntarily. That's because of a defense memo in which Flynn said the FBI never warned him that it was against the law to lie to federal agents. He pleaded guilty last year to lying to the FBI. U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan is asking Flynn a series of questions Tuesday to make sure that Flynn wants to move forward with his sentencing hearing. Flynn told the judge that he did indeed know that it was a crime to lie to the FBI. He also says he doesn't want to formally challenge the FBI's interview of him.
