Mike Pence says the return of Michael Flynn—who twice pleaded guilty to lying to investigators—is something he’d be “happy to see.”

slated to air on Monday. “For my part, I’d be happy to see Michael Flynn again,” Pence said, calling him “an American patriot” who has “served this country with great distinction.” The news comes just days after the Justice Department moved to drop charges against Flynn, who, in 2017, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. Given that in 2017, Flynn also admitted to lying to the vice president, Axios notes that “Pence’s blessing clears an obstacle to him returning to Trump’s inner circle.

Pence told Axios that the DOJ’s move to drop the criminal case “lays bare what was clearly prosecutorial abuse,” echoing the insistence on Flynn’s innocence propagated by conservative media figures.

Some are even discussing the potential of Flynn returning to Trump’s team in time for the 2020 campaign trail, per the findings of a Daily Beast that spoke to nine officials close to the president, all of whom said they wanted to see Flynn resume work for the president in an official capacity. Trump pollsterwent so far as to compare Flynn to Nelson Mandela. “Years ago when Nelson Mandela came to America after years of political persecution he was treated like a rock star by Americans,” McLaughlin told the Daily Beast. “Now after over three years of political persecution General Flynn is our rock star.
