Robert Kelner, lawyer of the former US National Security Adviser, has vehemently rejected media allegations about Flynn's plan to extradite Gulen to the Turkish government in exchange for a hefty bounty.
"…Today's news cycle has brought allegations about General Flynn, ranging from kidnapping to bribery, that are so outrageous and prejudicial that we are making an exception to our usual rule: they are false," Kelner was quoted by Reuters as saying in a statement.
The two were allegedly involved in the plot almost right after Trump nominated Flynn for the post of US National Security Adviser.
A lawyer for Flynn's son and a spokesman for Flynn's team declined to comment on the Wall Street Journal's report, according to Reuters.
Meanwhile, NBC reported about a probe into Flynn allegedly planning to collaborate with Turkish officials to free a Turkish-Iranian gold trader Reza Zarrab. Currently, he is behind bars in the US and faces charges of helping Tehran to scrap Washington's anti-Iranian sanctions.
