Fox news is reporting that Trump was fully briefed on Flynn regarding his Russian calls and it was Pence that was left out of the loop. Reporters at Fox say "Someone on the GOP side has pressed the "emergency impeachment" button. This doesn't get leaked unless the GOP is seeing red."
Quote:
President Trump was given a comprehensive summary of the contents of his former-national security adviser Michael Flynn’s phone calls with the Russian ambassador prior to Flynn’s resignation, a source told Fox News.
Trump did not see the actual transcript of the communications, but the summary was delivered by people outside the White House. Trump has maintained that he believes Flynn did nothing wrong.
"Mike was doing his job," Trump said at a news conference Thursday. "He was calling countries and his counterparts ... I would have directed him to do it if I thought he wasn't doing it. I didn't direct him, but I would have directed him because that's his job."
Flynn was forced to resign Monday over discussions he had with Russian officials before Trump took office.
