Flynn told associates on Inauguration Day that Russia sanctions would be 'ripped up'
Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn reportedly told a business-associate-turned-whistleblower that President Trump would rip up economic sanctions against Russia as one of his first acts in office, thereby allowing a development project Flynn had once been involved with to move forward, The New York Times reports. The controversial Middle Eastern nuclear plant project once involved Russian companies and was promoted by Flynn throughout his brief White House tenure.
"According to the whistleblower, Gen. Flynn reportedly sent a key communication on Inauguration Day indicating that the project was now 'good to go' and directing his business colleagues to move forward," the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Elijah Cummings (Md.), wrote to the chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.). The whistleblower contacted Cummings directly, but Cummings said the individual would be willing to speak with Gowdy so long as his or her identity remained protected.
