Michael flynn trumps security adviser resigns #

You're referring to the controversy surrounding Michael Flynn, who served as the National Security Adviser (NSA) to President Donald Trump from January 20 to February 13, 2017.

Michael Flynn resigned on February 13, 2017, after it was revealed that he had misled Vice President Mike Pence and other administration officials about his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition period. Flynn had been a key figure in Trump's campaign and was a strong advocate for better relations with Russia.

The controversy surrounding Flynn's resignation was sparked by reports that he had discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with Kislyak in December 2016, just before Trump's inauguration. Flynn had initially denied that the conversations had taken place, but later admitted to having spoken with Kislyak.

Flynn's resignation was seen as a major blow to the Trump administration, and it led to a series of investigations and controversies surrounding the Trump campaign's ties to Russia. The FBI had been investigating Flynn's activities, and he had been interviewed by agents in January 2017.

In August 2017, Flynn pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI about his conversations with Kislyak. He agreed to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and potential collusion with the Trump campaign.

Flynn's resignation and subsequent guilty plea were seen as significant developments in the ongoing investigations into Russian interference and potential collusion with the Trump campaign.
