told that national security adviser michael flynn was susceptible to blackmail by russia. that warning was issued by acting attorney general sally yates, who told white house counsel don mcgahn that flynn was vulnerable because he misled the vice president and others about the nature of his conversation with russian ambassador sergey kislyak. despite her warning, president trump chose to keep flynn on the job as top national security post for 18 more days, according to the report. mueller s goal in part is to determine whether there was a deliberate effort to cover up the information that yates had provided the white house. as nbc reports, multiple sources say that during interviews, mueller s investigators have asked witnesses, including white house counsel don mcgahn himself and others who have worked in the west wing to go through each day that flynn remained as national security adviser and describe in detail what they knew was happening inside the white house as it related to ....
