President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, failed to disclose payments from Russia when applying for security clearance in 2016, lawmakers told reporters Tuesday. When Flynn reapplied for his security clearance in January 2016, he apparently did not report the funds he received for his trip to Moscow. Flynn’s failure to disclose the money he received for the trip on his clearance documents is potentially a criminal offense, Cummings said. Cummings added that the White House did not hand over any documents related to what Flynn told the administration when he was vetted to be Trump’s national security adviser. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), chair of the Armed Services Committee, wouldn’t say if he thought what Flynn did was criminal.
