Donald Trump breaks his silence on national security adviser Michael Flynn’s resignation

-


DONALD Trump has broken his silence over the resignation of his national security adviser, saying the “real story” is the “illegal leaks” coming out of Washington.
Retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn resigned on Monday, ending days of speculation about his fate following reports he’d misled Vice President Mike Pence and other officials about his contacts with Russia.


General Flynn conceded that discussions of sanctions may have come up during several calls with the Russian ambassador during the transition period leading up to Mr Trump’s January 20 inauguration.
“The real story here is why are there so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington? Will these leaks be happening as I deal on N.Korea etc?” President Trump tweeted on Monday.
North Korea tested a ballistic missile over the weekend while Mr Trump was at his Florida resort hosting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

HILLARY CLINTON TAKES A SWIPE AT FLYNN
Hillary Clinton has taken a wry swipe on Twitter at General Flynn following his resignation.
Mrs Clinton retweeted a post from longtime confidante Phillipe Reines, where he suggested General Flynn and his son, Michael Flynn Jr, get jobs at Domino’s.

Flynn Jr circulated a fake news story tying the Clinton campaign to the so-called Pizzagate conspiracy theory, alleging in December that she had used the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria in Washington, DC to run a child sex-trafficking operation.
Flynn Jr was the first to be sacked from the Trump transition team before the presidential inauguration.
