President Trump was given a comprehensive summary of the contents of his former-national security adviser Michael Flynn’s phone calls with the Russian ambassador prior to Flynn’s resignation, a source told Fox News. Trump did not see the actual transcript of the communications, but the summary was delivered by people outside the White House. "Mike was doing his job," Trump said at a news conference Thursday. Flynn was forced to resign Monday over discussions he had with Russian officials before Trump took office. Flynn denied in an FBI interview last month that he had discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with Moscow's ambassador to the United States, contradicting transcripts of intercepted communications between the two men, the Washington Post reported Thursday.
