KT McFarland was the senior transition official at Mar-a-Lago who discussed with Michael Flynn what, if anything, to communicate to the Russian ambassador about US sanctions, according sources familiar with the matter.

McFarland was not named in the document but sources confirmed she was who was described in the court filings. CNN has learned McFarland met with Mueller investigators recently to answer questions about Michael Flynn, according to the sources.

According to the special counsel charges, McFarland and Flynn talked about the potential impact of the sanctions on the incoming Trump administration’s foreign policy and that the transition team did not want Russia to escalate the situation.

An attorney for McFarland declined comment.

The Washington Post, and The New York Times. He just helps motivate them to uncover more scandals. Did he honestly think they would all just roll over and play dead?

Talks agreed game, then keeps giving himself away. She ended up wandering around the castle murmuring, Out, out damned spot," Trump vomits up his tweets."

comes back to haunt him, but he just digs himself deeper and deeper. Guess Trump isn't familiar with Shakespeare, his life is imitating art.
