The Washington Post’s Carol D. Leonnig and Michael Kranish explain why House Democrats have questions about a trip Michael Flynn took the Middle East in 2015. The company hoped to build more than two dozen nuclear plants in the region in partnership with Russian interests. Flynn wrote that he was representing his company, Flynn Intel Group, at the hearing. An attorney for Flynn’s company told the committee that it would not provide documents about the Middle Eastern nuclear project unless it is subpoenaed, according to the letter. ACU officials declined to identify its investors or answer questions on the record from The Post about whether it has foreign backing.
