National security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn apologized to Vice President Mike Pence for telling him that sanctions were not discussed in a pre-inauguration phone call with the Russian ambassador.
Flynn has no plans to resign or give up his security clearance, Fox News national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin reported, citing a senior West Wing source.

Who would leak such information?
I’m going to hold my comments on this story, until I hear from better sources...
I don’t get this. The FBI already investigated this and found nothing. WTF?!
Do what the Mafia would have done in the ‘50s.
Get rid of everyone and take no chances.
Don’t resign!
Looking forward to seeing how Trump responds to the inevitable question(s) he will be asked about Flynn during the scheduled 2 pm presser.
No one except leakers need to be fired. They’re exaggerating how badly things have gone.
I would guess he talked in a general way and not specific terms.
According to the ZeroHedge article, "Trump, Bannon Said To Weigh Firing Mike Flynn Over Russian Phone Calls Scanda":
"Flynn initially said that in a conversation Dec. 29 with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, he didn’t discuss sanctions imposed that day by the outgoing Obama administration, which were levied in retaliation for alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Flynn now concedes that he did, administration officials said, after transcripts of his phone calls show as much. He also admits he spoke with the ambassador more than once on Dec. 29, despite weeks of the Trump team’s insisting it was just one phone call, officials said."
"The United States and other Western powers imposed sanctions on Russia in 2014 over its annexation of the Crimea peninsula from Ukraine and its support for pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine."-- REUTERS
DO NOT RESIGN! Doing so would give the lunatic left a major victory and embolden them to go after others on bogus charges. If they see you sweat and find blood in the water, they are just like a pack of wolves and sharks, they show no mercy whatsoever. Do not resign!!!
Any of the dirtball hired by the last scumbag in tge Oval Office. He needs to purge all these Obama hacks.
Word is sometime during the election President Trump asked General Flynn to set up a phone call with Putin.
General Flynn was talking to the Russian Embassy the day before and the Embassy simply asked General Flynn what was Trump’s position. They wanted to know if Trump was hostile or not. General Flynn said no it’s to work together to get rid of ISIS, but Trump would explain it.
That’s it and the media is having a conniption fit about it. There is nothing there in other words.
Is there a transcript of the call?
Now Move ON!!!!WE DON’T CARE!!!
I think it is the Pence/Priebus/Ryan wing trying to fight back against the possible replacement of Priebus for leaking, etc.?
If transcripts of a POTUS telephone call can get leaked this is nothing. They better get these leaks fixed before something REALLY important gets out.
I thought the phone call transcripts said otherwise.
