Nancy Pelosi: ‘National Security Demands That General Flynn Be Fired Immediately’
The highest ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, just called on Michael Flynn to be fired immediately. Pelosi said in a statement on Monday:
“Michael Flynn’s conduct was alarming enough before his secret communications with the Russians were exposed. Now, we have a National Security Advisor who cannot be trusted not to put Putin before America.
“The conduct of the Trump White House speaks for itself. The reports of the Trump-Russia dossier gain credence with each passing day. As long as Republicans refuse to compel the release of President Trump’s tax returns, they are complicit in covering up Russia’s financial, personal and political hold on the Administration.
“This Administration has exhausted its excuses. Vladimir Putin’s grip on President Trump must be investigated, exposed and broken. National security demands that General Flynn be fired immediately.”
Pelosi’s call for Michael Flynn to be fired comes as another congressional Democrat just called for Trump to release the transcripts of the conversations between Flynn and the Russian ambassador.
