NBC News Exclusive: Obama Warned Trump Against Hiring Flynn 1:36

According to all three former officials, Obama warned Trump against hiring Flynn. The Obama administration fired Flynn in 2014 from his position as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, largely because of mismanagement and temperament issues.

Obama's warning pre-dated the concerns inside the government about Flynn's contacts with the Russian ambassador, one of the officials said. Obama passed along a general caution that he believed Flynn was not suitable for such a high level post, the official added.

Two administration officials said Obama also warned Trump to stay vigilant on North Korea.

1. And You Know Trump Does Everything Opposite Of What Obama....

says or does. Did Obama use this as a 3D chess move to stick it to Trump? Probably not - he was sincerely trying to provide Trump some sound advice but with Trump's vindictive nature Trump shot himself in the foot.

2. Probably why Flynn got the job.

If Obama says "North" Trump goes South.
