15. Michael Flynn...

According to the whistleblowers, Derek Harvey, the Senior Director for Middle East and
North African Affairs at the National Security Council (NSC) from January to July 2017, stated
during the first week of the Trump Administration that the decision to adopt IP3’s nuclear plan,
which it called the Middle East Marshall Plan, and develop “dozens of nuclear power plants” had
already been made by General Flynn during the transition—while he was serving as an advisor
to IP3.

Career staff warned that any transfer of nuclear technology must comply with the Atomic
Energy Act, that the United States and Saudi Arabia would need to reach a 123 Agreement, and
that these legal requirements could not be circumvented. Mr. Harvey reportedly ignored these
warnings and insisted that the decision to transfer nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia had
already been made.

Both career and political staff inside the White House reportedly agreed that Mr.
Harvey’s directive could violate the law. One senior political official stated that the proposal
was “not a business plan,” but rather “a scheme for these generals to make some money.” That
official stated: “Okay, you know we cannot do this.”

...

Despite the concerns of whistleblowers and NSC attorneys, and even after the President
fired General Flynn in mid-February, officials inside the White House continued to move
forward on the IP3 nuclear plan. More than five individuals separately confirmed that Mr.
Harvey stated during a meeting on March 2, 2017: “I speak with Michael Flynn every night.”
