On Monday, the Wall Street Journal revealed that Michael Flynn, the national security adviser to President Trump, became the subject of a US investigation not long ago.
One focus of the effort pertains to phone conversations between Flynn and Russia's ambassador to the US.
The alleged calls, which were initiated by Flynn, occurred on December 29th and were discovered through routine intelligence activities.
Flynn's conversations with Sergey Kislyak have since become a subject of interest to the FBI, the CIA, the Treasury Department, and the National Security Agency, reports Vanity Fair.
