Flynn, the son of Mr. Trumps choice for national security adviser, for using Twitter to spread a fake news story about Hillary Clinton that led to an armed confrontation in a pizza restaurant in Washington.

"Trump Fires" is bullshit framing. Dumbfuck son never should've been a transition member in the first place, since he'd been sharing BS conspiracies forever. Trump team got caught, then Flynn Jr. is the sacrificial lamb.
