Former U.S. National Security Adviser Michael Flynn received more than $45,000 from RT, the Russian government-backed television network, for his participation at a December 2015 gala where he sat at President Vladimir Putin’s table, according to documents released Thursday by congressional Democrats.
Flynn also received $11,250 for a 2015 speaking engagement in Washington for Kaspersky Government Security Solutions, Inc., a U.S. subsidiary of Kaspersky Lab, a Russian cybersecurity firm, according to the documents. That firm was caught up in a Russian espionage investigation in December. Russian prosecutors have charged a manager at Kaspersky Lab with treason, saying he and two Russian information-security officials were “interacting” with U.S. intelligence officials, according to a defense lawyer in the case.
