Commenting on Flynn’s contacts with the Russian Ambassador in Washington Sergei Kislyak, a White house spokesman stressed that the fact of holding such talks are quite normal, and claims of the tramp lies in the fact that his adviser failed to accurately convey the content of those conversations to the Vice President Mike Pence.
“He (M. Flynn – ed.) did nothing that could be considered a violation of the law. He was quite right to discuss (with the Ambassador of the Russian Federation – ed.) questions, which both countries consider to be relevant”, – said the representative of the White house.
As reported, Flynn was originally told Penny that in the course of contacts with Kislyak before the inauguration trump has not discussed the issue of sanctions against Russia. Later, however, the Advisor acknowledged that he could forget some of the details of the negotiations.
