Citing a Yahoo News interview with retired Lt. General Michael Flynn last July, a House committee has opened an investigation into whether President Trump’s recently resigned national security advisor received improper payments from the Russian government for a trip to Moscow in December 2015.
In an unusual bipartisan letter, House Oversight and Government reform committee chair Rep. Jason Chaffetz and ranking minority member Rep. Elijah Cummings have asked a Washington-based speakers bureau, Leading Authorities, to turn over information on how much Flynn was paid for his attendance at a dinner celebrating the 10th anniversary of RT—the Russian-government funded news organization—where he sat at the same table as President Vladimir Putin.
