Flynn’s departure was the most dramatic moment yet of Trump’s young presidency, a 24-day period during which his White House has been repeatedly distracted by miscues and internal dramas.
“Unfortunately, because of the fast pace of events, I inadvertently briefed the vice president-elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian ambassador. I have sincerely apologised to the president and the vice president, and they have accepted my apology,” Flynn said in his resignation letter.
Flynn’s resignation came after it was reported that the Justice Department warned the White House weeks ago that Flynn could be vulnerable to blackmail for contacts with Russian officials before Trump took power on January 20.
