It was a long day of bad news and more bad news about National Security Advisor Mike Flynn and his secret conversations with the Russian ambassador. An apology from Flynn to Mike Pence supposedly smoothed things over. Kellyanne Conway and Sean Spicer gave conflicting quotes on whether Donald Trump was standing by Flynn. But at the end of the day, we get the answer: nope.
Embattled White House national security adviser Michael Flynn resigned Monday night, two sources tell CNN. [...]
The move comes less than a month into the job, making him one of the shortest-serving senior presidential advisers in modern history.
That’s the first high-profile exit from among Trump’s top advisers, but it’s guaranteed not to be the last. It might not even be the last one related to Russia.
