White House stops defending Flynn, raising questions on his fate
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s fate as one of the president’s senior aides remains uncertain following reports that he discussed US sanctions with a Russian envoy before Trump’s January 20 inauguration.
For a fourth straight day, White House officials will not say whether Trump has confidence in Flynn. The president has not publicly commented on Flynn’s status, nor has Vice President Mike Pence, who previously denied that Flynn had discussed sanctions with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the US.
Stephen Miller, Trump’s top policy adviser, skirted the issue on several news shows yesterday, saying it was not his place to weigh in on the “sensitive matter” or to say whether the president retains confidence in Flynn.
