Will Reza Zarrab -- a connection of Flynn's -- plead guilty on MONDAY?

His trial on money-laundering (related to the Iran sanctions) is set for Monday, but his attorneys haven't been filing the usual motions and he has been moved out of the pre-trial detention center to an undisclosed location. The rumor is that he's cooperating with Mueller.

NBC reported earlier this week that special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating whether Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn $15 million to kidnap Gulen and return him to Turkey, according to NBC News.

Turkish officials also pressured Flynn to help get the case against Zarrab dropped.

The 33-year-old businessman did not appear at a scheduled court hearing last week even though his trial is set to start on Monday.

His absence coincided with reports that he is working with Mueller and other investigators probing Flynn’s ties to the Turkish government.

Zarrab allegedly moved hundreds of millions of dollars for the Iranian government and Iranian firms via offshore companies and bank accounts.
