Special Counsel Robert Mueller is expected to file a key memo on Tuesday that could shed light on the extent of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s cooperation with federal prosecutors throughout the Russia investigation.

The deadline for Mueller’s office to file a memo recommending sentencing for Flynn is Tuesday. The document is likely to provide a federal judge with details of how valuable the retired U.S. Army lieutenant has been to the special counsel, at a time when the investigation reportedly is tying up "loose ends."

Flynn pleaded guilty in December 2017 to making false statements to the FBI with regard to his communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. In late 2016, the two allegedly spoke about the U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia. Flynn was fired from the White House on Feb. 13, 2017, after he misled Trump administration officials, including Vice President Pence, on his communications.

Flynn also admitted to making false statements about his work as an unregistered foreign agent to benefit the Turkish government. Flynn was under investigation by the Justice Department for that work when he became national security adviser.
