SPRINGFIELD — Former national security adviser Michael Flynn — who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI but later was pardoned by then President Donald Trump — waded into Illinois politics on Tuesday, endorsing Gary Rabine for governor over six other Republicans vying for the party’s nomination.
“Gary is a self-made business success story. A man of principle, integrity and passion for public service. He believes that the power of government is derived from the citizens and that individual freedoms are sacrosanct,” Flynn said in a statement released by Rabine’s campaign.
