WASHINGTON, (MILLAT/APP/AFP) – The White House cast doubt on
National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s political future on Monday, with a spokesman saying the president was “evaluating” his behavior after contacts with the Russian government.
“The president is evaluating the situation,” said spokesman Sean
Spicer, indicating that Trump was “speaking to Vice President (Mike) Pence and “various other people about what he considers the single most important subject there is — our national security.”
Pence — after speaking to Flynn — had publicly claimed that the national security advisor did not discuss sanctions policy with the Russian ambassador — a claim that proved to be untrue.
