Former national security adviser Michael Flynn was paid more than $67,000 by Russian companies before the presidential election, according to documents released Thursday by a Democratic congressman. Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland asked the Trump administration to provide a comprehensive record of Flynn's contacts with foreign governments and interests. Last week, Flynn registered with the Justice Department as a foreign agent whose lobbying work may have benefited the Turkish government. A Flynn spokesman said Flynn informed the DIA before he went to Moscow and after his return. Cummings also asked for documents about Flynn's security clearance over the past 10 years.
