Mueller's team, in two memos filed ahead of Flynn's December 18 sentencing, said that Flynn participated in 19 interviews with the special counsel or other DOJ officers and provided documents and communications. But his lawyers, in a sentencing memorandum filed late Friday night, offered the fullest explanation yet for Cohen's motivation in switching sides and joining the government team, as prosecutors like to say.
Trump also praised another former advisor, Roger Stone, for refusing to testify against him - drawing accusations of witness tampering and illegally obstructing the Russian Federation collusion investigation of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
The filing was a sentencing memo ahead of a sentencing hearing Flynn will have before a federal judge in Washington, D.C. later this month.
The sentencing memo was "respectfully submitted" by special counsel Mueller himself.
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller, the special counsel probing Russian interference in the 2016 election, departs Capitol Hill following a closed door meeting, June 21, 2017.
Last week, Corsi refused Mueller's offer for a plea deal over his role as a suspected intermediary between Stone and WikiLeaks, saying he was prepared to spend the "rest of my life" in prison rather than "sign a lie".

Cohen's lawyers, meanwhile, submitted a sentencing memo on his behalf last week that contained a slew of bombshells about Trump and his interactions with Cohen previous year and before the 2016 election. As part of his plea agreement, Flynn agreed to cooperate with the Mueller investigation. Stone told ABC News on Sunday he would not testify against Trump and has not discussed a pardon with the president.
President Donald Trump has called the investigation a witch hunt and denies there was any collusion between his team and Russian officials to try to secure his election victory. He also pleaded guilty in the Mueller investigation to one count of lying to Congress last week, and his lawyers say he expects to cooperate further.
In court papers filed along with his plea deal, Flynn said that members of Trump's inner circle, including the president's son-in-law and White House aide Jared Kushner, were involved in, and at times directing, his actions in the weeks before Trump took office. The sentencing is scheduled on December 12.
The filing details the series of false statements Flynn made to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department. Flynn "made multiple false statements, to multiple Department of Justice ("DOJ") entities, on multiple occasions".
Mr Flynn's short tenure as Mr Trump's national security adviser ended in February 2017 after just 23 days.
