Who would leak such information?

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."

So, those would be in addition to these existing sanctions?

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.

so he talked about the sanctions? So what? I mean, did he say, “Once we’re in office we can be more flexible on the subject.” I doubt it.

O wonder how many young Captains and Lieutenants Flynn has sat in judgement off for lying?
