trump associates: The bipartisan accusations that Flynn may have broken the law come as his foreign contacts are being examined by other congressional committees as part of investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and potential ties between Trump associates and the Kremlin, according to The Japan Times. Congress returned earlier this week from its spring recess, and Tuesday's announcements reflected renewed interest on Capitol Hill. The congressmen also raised new questions about fees Flynn received as part of 530,000 in consulting work his company performed for a businessman tied to Turkey's government. Reps. Flynn, who headed the military's top intelligence agency, is a retired lieutenant general and was Trump's national security adviser until he was fired in February. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said Flynn could be criminally prosecuted because, as a former Army officer, he was barred from accepting payments from foreign governments.
