Michael Flynn resigned his post as President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, a senior administration official said, news that came after the Justice Department had warned the White House of its concerns over Flynn’s contacts with the Russian ambassador to the U.S.
This official, meanwhile, rejected reports that retired General David Petraeus was being considered for Flynn’s job. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to describe internal personnel matters.
