Donald Trump on Saturday tweeted his defiance over the guilty plea made by his former national security adviser Michael Flynn, writing that the general’s “actions during the transition were lawful”. The New York Times released two bombshell reports on Saturday. The paper reported that a White House lawyer said McFarland – known in the transition team as “Flynn’s brain” – had meant that Democrats were portraying the election result that way. He was reassigned to the FBI’s human resources department, the New York Times reported. The nature of the messages Strzok exchanged and with whom he communicated was not clear, the Times reported, adding that the justice department’s inspector general is investigating the matter.
