ABC News has learned Lt. General Michael Flynn, the former Trump national security adviser, is expected to attend an event Friday night for California Congressional Candidate Omar Navarro.

Flynn is going to make remarks and announce his endorsement of Navarro for Congress according to Navarro and Joy Miedecke, the president of the East Valley Republican Women Federated — the organization that is hosting Friday night's event in La Quinta, Calif.

A source close to Flynn confirms to ABC News he plans on attending Friday night's event and is expected to announce his endorsement. "He's endorsing me," Navarro, a small business owner, told ABC News.

Navarro, who’s challenging longtime Rep. Maxine Waters, said he and Flynn had been communicating online and via email. They met in person in February when Navarro was in Washington D.C. to attend Conservative Political Action Conference.

How could this candidate think that an endorsement from an indicted Russian collaborator would be a good thing?

I grew up in CA-43. It’s heavily diverse and true blue. Navarro has a snowball’s chance in hell to get elected, especially when a known federal criminal is endorsing him.

Plus he lost last time bigly;
