BREAKING: Michael Flynn out as Trump security advisor – the first to bite the dust
National security adviser Michael Flynn resigned late Monday. This was following revelations that he discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country’s ambassador in the days surrounding their imposition.
Importantly this was weeks before Donald Trump was inaugurated, which may have been in breach of American law. When asked about the conversations Flynn claimed sanctions were not discussed. Later a transcript of the conversation revealed otherwise.
