Flynn out because of RT

Robert Kelner, an attorney for Mr. Flynn, disputed the committee’s characterization of the controversy over payments, saying that his client was in contact with the Defense Intelligence Agency about foreign payments from the state-owned Russian television network RT.

He never disclosed or got permission.

RT sunk Flynn.

Under U.S. law, approval for a retired U.S. Army officer to receive foreign government payments must come from the secretary of the Army and secretary of state.

A Defense Department white paper, which explains how the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution applies to military personnel instructs retired Army personnel to obtain approval from U.S. Army Human Resources Command, which is separate from the DIA.

The Army previously said in a letter to Mr. Cummings that it had found no record of Mr. Flynn reporting his Russian pay to the military service.

Mr. Flynn, who briefly served as Mr. Trump’s national security adviser before resigning under pressure, has been under scrutiny by the committee for receiving payments from entities linked to Russia and Turkey.
