Former President Obama warned President Donald Trump against hiring Mike Flynn as his national security adviser, three former Obama administration officials tell NBC News.
The warning, which has not been previously reported, came less than 48 hours after the November election when the two sat down for a 90-minute conversation in the Oval Office.
A senior Trump administration official acknowledged Monday that Obama raised the issue of Flynn, saying the former president made clear he was "not a fan of Michael Flynn." Another official said Obama's remark seemed like it was made in jest.
The revelation comes on a day that former acting Attorney General Sally Yates is expected to testify that Flynn misled the White House about his contacts with Russia's ambassador to the United States.
According to all three former officials, Obama warned Trump against hiring Flynn. The Obama administration fired Flynn in 2014 from his position as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, largely because of mismanagement and temperament issues.
Obama's warning pre-dated the concerns inside the government about Flynn's contacts with the Russian ambassador, one of the officials said. Obama passed along a general caution that he believed Flynn was not suitable for such a high level post, the official added.

Globalists like Obama are very fearful of General Flynn for some odd reason?
Iran.
Obama’s Iran deal is in peril.
If Flynn is a threat to that disasterous Iran deal, then Flynn is a very good man.
And the Iran lobby owns congress critters on both sides of the aisle...
There’s no scandal with Flynn, except that he didn’t disclose to Pence that he discussed sanctions with Russia. Most of Obama’s Admin was dangerous.
P2 warned America about electing Hussein.
NBC News sounds like Fake News.
Why did obama keep him then?
So Obama was privy to the unmasked communications. What did Obama know and when did he know it?
Certainly before Election Day.
Who else did he tell?
Obama spying on Trump basically admitted by the title statement.
The MSM thinks Flynn’s Russian contacts are more significant than Obama’s ties to a known domestic terrorist named Bill Ayers. Mr Obama also toasted a Palestinian terrorist an the LA Times says it is okay because that happened at a private dinner function.
And they and the Russians fear Flynn’s stand on Iran because it includes Flynn’s view that totalitarian regimes like Putin’s go hand in hand with Iran in destabilizing the entire ME.
Podesta and Hillary are in Putin’s pocket; Obama too was “flexible” with Putin, and pushed the Iran deal which was very much to Iran and Russia’s advantage.
If you want to know who is in Putin’s pocket, look to whomever tries to insulate Iran from its own handiwork.
There is a reason al Qaeda set bombs off all over the countries of the ME but never in Iran.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...
Sure he did.
Trump: ‘Flynn was given the highest security clearance by the Obama Administration
This must be one of the lies that Yates put out before her perjury today. Fake news - Obama hired him.
Then Obama updated Flynn's security clearance in 2016.
Obama is a visionary??
Flynn’s son spoke out about Pedogate. That alone was enough to send Obama and the rest of the Satanists into a frenzy.
There seems to be a synchronized leaking campaign for this story. Why now?
Flynn is a DEMOCRAT....NEVER forget that.
