Michael Flynn, Trump’s embattled national security adviser, resigns amid controversy over communication with Russian ambassador
The resignation, which was confirmed by a White House official, comes after reports that Flynn had misled the vice president by saying he did not discuss sanctions with the Russian ambassador. The Justice Department had warned the Trump administration that the situation left Flynn potentially vulnerable to blackmail, current and former U.S. officials said.
