President of the United States Donald Trump said that in February 2017, removed from the post of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn for his lies to Vice President Mike Pence and the FBI.
“For this lie he is found guilty. It is a pity, because his actions during the transfer of power were legitimate,” Trump wrote on Twitter.
Earlier on December 2, Trump commented to the journalists about Flynn’s confession of false testimony. According to the American leader, there was no secret collusion between his team and Russia.
On Friday, December 1, an ex-adviser in court pleaded guilty to giving false testimony about the content of his telephone conversation with former Russian ambassador to the US Sergei Kislyak.
Flynn even agreed to cooperate fully with the investigation, including a check on the lie detector. Now he can face up to six months in prison and up to $ 9,500 in fine.
