So has the FBI caught Flynn in a lie about discussing sanctions with Russia [View all]

before the elections?

<snip>
President Trump’s national security advisor talked about sanctions against Russia with the country’s ambassador in December, The Washington Post reports.

The report, which cites current and former U.S. officials, contradicts Michael Flynn’s assertion on Wednesday that he never discussed the topic with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak during a series of phone calls in the month before Trump took office.

A spokesman for Flynn walked back that denial on Thursday, saying that “while he had no recollection of discussing sanctions, he couldn’t be certain that the topic never came up,” according to The Post.

The phone calls are still part of an ongoing review by the FBI into Russia's meddling in U.S. politics, but officials told The Post that they had not found evidence that Flynn made a deal to loosen sanctions after Trump took office.
