In exchange he's asking for immunity from prosecution. 

Flynn was forced to resign as one of Trump's closes advisers after misleading the Vice President, Mike Pence, about his talks with the Russian ambassador to the U.S.

As a top adviser to the President, Flynn was privy to not only some of the most sensitive foreign policy discussions but also conversations about lifting the sanctions imposed on Russia by the Obama administration. 

So far neither the FBI or the House and Senate intelligence committees are interested in Flynn's offer for immunity.

The FBI is scrutinizing not only Mr. Flynn's communications with the Russian ambassador, but also whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russian officials to interfere with the presidential election.

Flynn was paid tens of thousands of dollars by several Russian companies for speeches he made just ahead of becoming an adviser to Mr. Trump's campaign, according to the congressional oversight committee. 

Mr. Flynn's attorney, Robert Kelner says the allegations against Flynn of treason, are outrageous.

"No reasonable person, who has the benefit of advice from counsel, would submit to questioning in such a highly politicized, witch-hunt environment without assurances against unfair prosecution," he said.

There are three other people associated with the Trump campaign who are a part of investigation's by the FBI, according the U.S. officials.
