Flynn Defends Russia Call: I Said 'We'll Review Everything'

Michael Flynn maintained on Monday that he crossed no lines in his December phone call with Russias ambassador to the United States, in what was his most detailed account of the call.
In an interview with the Daily Caller on Monday, which was published the following day, Flynn said his call with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak wasnt about sanctions. It was about the 35 guys who were thrown out.
So thats what it turned out to be. It was basically, Look, I know this happened. Well review everything. I never said anything such as, Were going to review sanctions, or anything like that, he said.
That is Flynns most detailed account of the phone exchange yet. In two separate interviews with the Washington Post, Flynns story changed regarding his memory of the call with Kislyak.
