protected here noting that businesses can't plead the 5th. they'll also be sending a letter to flynn's lawyer, asking if a person can plead the 5th when it's about a document release, which of course is what flynn did just this monday. and the committee keeping a big threat of potentially holding mine flynn in contempt of congress is still on the table. >> we've taking actions that we feel are appropriate right now. if in fact there's not a response we'll seek additional counsel advice on how to proceed forward. at the end of that option is a contempt charge, and i've said that everything is on the table. that's not our preference today, we would like to hear from general flynn, we'd like to see his documents, we'd like him to tell his story because he publicly said i've got a story to tell. >> so the republican chairman of that committee notably saying the option of contempt of congress is still very much on the table is an option if michael flynn does not comply with these latest moves.
