National security adviser-designate Michael Flynn is seen in the lobby at Trump Tower in New York on Jan. 12, 2017. Prosecutors also failed to release an unredacted version of portions of the Mueller report related to Flynn that the judge had ordered be made public. Flynn’s lying about his contacts with the Russian ambassador made him the shortest-serving national security adviser in U.S. history: He spent just 24 days in the prestigious White House job. The Trump counsel was Dowd, according to people familiar with the episode. “This is clearly a baseless, political document designed to smear and damage the reputation of counsel and innocent people,” Dowd said of the special counsel report.
