Meanwhile, Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin sounded similar tones as they criticized the ongoing U.S. scrutiny of Russia’s attempts to sway the presidential election. WASHINGTON—Former national security adviser Michael Flynn will provide documents to the Senate intelligence committee as part of its probe into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, The Associated Press has learned. Flynn’s attorneys had argued the request was too broad and would have required Flynn to turn over information that could have been used against him. U.S. President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn invoked the fifth amendment on May 22, rebuffing a subpoena in the investigation into Russia's election meddling. The House intelligence committee has also sought information from Epshteyn, a former staffer in the Trump White House.
