Washington (CNN) Republicans and Democrats are demanding more information about connections between President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn and several foreign entities -- including the Kremlin-backed media outlet RT. Their calls come after months of controversy surrounding one of Trump's longtime campaign advisers and top aide on security matters. Questions have swirled about the nature of his ties to Russia and whether he violated any restrictions on contacts with foreign officials. FBI officials told CNN last month that they do not plan to pursue charges against Flynn barring any new information, after he told agents he did not remember discussing sanctions with Kislyak. Less than a week later, on March 16, CNN reported on emails detailing Flynn's relationship with RT.
