His speaker’s bureau took a cut of the fee. Price Floyd, a spokesman for Flynn, said the general, “like many other government officials, signed up with a speakers bureau when he left government service. These are speeches that he made after leaving government.” He said that Flynn reported the December 2015 Moscow trip to the Defense Intelligence Agency before and after it occurred. The documents show that representatives for Flynn at the speaker’s bureau Leading Authorities negotiated with RT officials in Moscow regarding the event. The bureau collected $11,250 while Flynn was paid $33,750 — a fee that was reduced after RT balked at paying Flynn’s original asking price.
