Back at the end of January, acting Attorney General Sally Yates told the Trump administration that national security adviser Michael Flynn had lied to top White House officials, including Vice President Mike Pence and potentially the FBI. Amid growing questions about the potential for Russian blackmail, Flynn has resigned from his White House post.
In his resignation letter he wrote that he had “inadvertently briefed the Vice President Elect and others with incomplete information regarding [his] phone calls with the Russian Ambassador.”
