President Obama Warned Trump Not To Hire Michael Flynn
BREAKING…Donald Trump was warned!
During their 90 minute Oval Office meeting after the election, President Obama warned Donald Trump against hiring Michael Flynn.
NBC News, citing three sources, is reporting that during their November 10 meeting after the election Donald Trump was warned about Michael Flynn by President Obama.
The Trump administration has consistently downplayed the warnings they received about Flynn saying the merely received a “heads up” from former acting Attorney General Sally Yates. However, today’s news that not only did Sally Yates give the Trump administration a strong warning about Flynn but that President Barack Obama gave Donald Trump a personal warning not to hire Flynn completely contradicts the Trump storyline.
According to NBC News, “The warning, which has not been previously reported, came less than 48 hours after the November election when the two sat down for a 90-minute conversation in the Oval Office.”
NBC News went on to note, “Another big question that has never been answered: Did Flynn coordinate with the president over his repeated contacts with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak? Those contacts raised alarms not only within the Obama administration, but within Trump’s own transition team, according to reports Friday confirmed by NBC News.”
