Key players in the Michael Flynn investigation
WASHINGTON (AP) — A list of key players relevant to the Special Counsel investigation into former Trump administration National Security Adviser Michael Flynn:
Michael T. Flynn __ A retired U.S. Army Lt. General and former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency during the Obama administration, Flynn served for less than a month as President Donald Trump's first national security adviser. Flynn was fired in mid-February by Trump for misleading Vice President Mike Pence and other officials about his phone discussions with Russia's ambassador, Sergey Kislyak. Flynn's misleading statements about his Russia contacts and his 2016 consulting work for a Turkish client both came under scrutiny by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
