Atlantan Sally Yates warned Trump White House about Michael FlynnFeb 14, 2017, 6:41am EST
Before she was fired by President Donald Trump as acting Assistant Attorney General, Yates reportedly warned the Trump White House that Flynn had misrepresented his conversations with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, according to WXIA.
Yates warned the White House that Flynn could be vulnerable to Russian blackmail and was misleading about his interactions with Russia's ambassador. She offered the warnings to the Trump administration in a message she and another official delivered to the White House.

after the Travel Ban thing.
Per Spicer - Once they investigated and decided Flynn did nothing illegal, it became an issue of trust, and trump asked him to resign.
