Trump Replaces Flynn But Says He Got "Very, Very Unfair" Treatment

February 16, 2017
Here’s the latest intrigue on the Trump administration and Russia:
The United States is facing political chaos as more reports emerge tying President Donald Trump’s aides to Russia. An FBI investigation is underway, members of Congress are calling for reviews, and the public, reporters, and intelligence community are looking for clarity amid seeming contradictions.
Members of President Trump’s campaign had repeated contact with Russian intelligence officials, according to phone records and call intercepts first reported by The New York Times on Tuesday evening.
The calls were intercepted around the time that the intelligence community found evidence that the Russians had tried to interfere with the presidential election to get Trump elected by hacking into the Democratic National Committee’s computers and releasing emails.
This comes a day after Gen. Mike Flynn resigned as President Trump’s national security adviser after it was revealed he communicated with a Russian official about sanctions before Trump took office — which could have been illegal — then misled Vice President Mike Pence about it.
Trump on Tuesday said Flynn’s treatment by the media was “very, very unfair” and blamed Democrats for his firing. Meanwhile, Trump tapped Retired Vice Adm. Robert Harward to replace Flynn.
