Then-Acting Attorney General Sally Yates first told McGahn in late January that Michael Flynn, then Trump’s national security adviser, was potentially susceptible to Russian blackmail because he had misled senior administration officials about the nature of his communications with the Russian ambassador to the United States. Flynn had said publicly that he did not discuss U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia when he spoke with the ambassador in late December, when in fact he had.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Tuesday that McGahn briefed the president and a small group of senior advisers soon after receiving the message and conducted his own review to determine if Flynn had acted illegally. Spicer said McGahn determined Flynn had not, although Flynn had nonetheless lost the president’s trust. Late Monday, Flynn resigned.
