Donald Trump should be arrested over Michael Flynn's talks with Russia, Michael Moore says
Donald Trump should be arrested over his former national security adviser’s potentially illegal discussions with Russia, Michael Moore has said.
General Mike Flynn resigned late on Monday night after it was revealed he had held conversations with senior Russian diplomats before he was appointed to the administration and before Mr Trump took office. It is illegal for private citizens to conduct diplomatic conversations on behalf of the US.
The retired general had reportedly discussed the possibility of dropping sanctions against Russia with Sergei Kislyak, the Kremlin’s ambassador to the US. Mr Flynn, who had initially told Vice President Mike Pence that the topic had not been discussed, admitted in his resignation letter that he “inadvertently briefed the Vice-President-elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian ambassador".
