The White House says the real story is not about Russia, but about how Obama administration officials allegedly leaked and mishandled classified material about Americans. But the White House says the problem is that Flynn's conversations were in the news at all. Officially, the White House said Flynn was forced to resign because he'd give inaccurate descriptions of the discussions to Vice President Mike Pence and others in the White House. White House officials say some Obama holdovers are part of a so-called deep state out to tear Trump down. It appears the White House played a role in helping House intelligence committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., acquire some of that information.
