Facing accusations about his dealings with Russia and misleading the Vice President and other top White House officials about his conversations with the Russian ambassador, Michael Flynn has resigned as the National Security Adviser after less than a month on the job.
Democratic Members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform took a strong and public step towards a full investigation of Lt. General Michael Flynn, the administration's National Security Advisor.
“Today, all Democratic Members of the Committee write to you jointly to request that you either reconsider your decision and initiate this investigation, or step aside and allow the Committee to vote on conducting basic oversight going forward,” the Members wrote.
In another move distancing the United States from our NATO allies, the Trump administration national security officials are seeking information on a non-existant threat against Belarus from NATO-ally Poland.
According to one U.S. official, national security aides have sought information about Polish incursions in Belarus, an eyebrow-raising request because little evidence of such activities appears to exist. Poland is among the Eastern European nations worried about Trump's friendlier tone on Russia.
