(RNN) - Former national security adviser Michael Flynn has been charged with lying to FBI agents while serving in the White House, various media reports have confirmed.
Flynn resigned as President Donald Trump's national security adviser in February after serving for less than a month.
He is scheduled to make a plea at 10:30 a.m. Eastern in Washington, DC, federal court.
Flynn was under scrutiny for failing to register as a foreign agent during the campaign for previous work he did for Turkey.
Flynn resigned as national security adviser after contradicting Trump officials, including Vice President Mike Pence, regarding sanctions against Russia.
Pence had relayed false information in media interviews based on his conversations with Flynn. He later apologized to Pence and cited his misleading information to the vice president in his resignation.
Flynn's indictment is the fourth under the investigation of wrongdoing by special prosecutor Robert Mueller. The previous indictments were for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadapolous and Manafort deputy Rick Gates.
Manafort ran Trump's 2016 campaign for several months and pleaded not guilty in October to a 12-count indictment by a federal grand jury. The charges include conspiracy to launder money, conspiracy against the United States and failing to register as foreign agents of Ukraine's former pro-Russian government.
Papadopoulos admitted he lied to the FBI about his correspondence with three people, who the FBI believe had connections with the Russian Government.
