Today Trumps former National Security advisor Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about conversations with the Russian ambassador last December. This makes him the first the first senior white house official to pledge cooperation in the investigation of election meddling. Michael Flynn took the plea deal given to him in exchange for not getting all of the charges he would've gotten had he not taken it. Flynn admitted to calling senior transition official who was with other members of Trumps Mar-a-Lago club in Florida to communicate about what they should tell the Russian ambassador about the US sanctions before Trump was president. This came the day before Vladimir Putin announced that he would not retaliate against the sanctions immediately. The same day trump tweeted support for Putins decision which brings even more questions as to if Trump was involved in this as well.
