A White House official also confirmed the warning. Other top intelligence officials, including James Clapper and John Brennan, were in agreement the White House should be alerted about the concerns. The resignation capped off a a day during which Flynn's public standing within the White House had quickly shifted. White House senior counselor Kellyanne Conway said on Monday the President had "full confidence" in Flynn. White House press secretary Sean Spicer offered a much more limited commitment from the President towards Flynn, saying Trump was "evaluating the situation."
