川普的國家安全顧問辭職

In a resignation letter Flynn said he had inadvertently briefed then Vice President elect Mike Pence and others with incomplete information regarding his phone calls with the Russian ambassador to the United States.

Reports in the Washington Post and New York Times last Friday said Flynn had discussed with the ambassador the sanctions placed on Russia by the Obama administration, despite denials from the Trump administration that the talks dealt with that subject.

Several Democratic senators had called for an investigation of Flynn, while others urged Trump to fire him and for intelligence officials to review his security clearance.

Nine anonymous people described as current and former U.S. officials told the Post that Flynn and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak explicitly discussed the sanctions placed on Russia by the Obama administration after the election hacking scandal.

The calls came at the same time as the Obama administration planned to roll out the sanctions, which raised suspicions by U.S. intelligence officials and initiated an investigation.美國國家安全顧問邁克爾·弗林辭職。之前出現有關他在與俄羅斯的關係問題上誤導政府的大量報道。

弗林在請辭信中說,他不經意地向當時的當選副總統彭斯和其他人通報了他與俄羅斯駐美國大使進行電話通話的不完整信息。

《華盛頓郵報》和《紐約時報》上週五的報道說,弗林與俄羅斯駐美大使討論了奧巴馬政府對俄羅斯的制裁,儘管川普政府不承認談話內容涉及制裁。

一些民主黨參議員要求對弗林進行調查,而另一些民主黨人則敦促川普將他解職,並要求情報部門對他的機密許可資格進行審查。

9名據說是現任和前美國官員、但未透露姓名的人士對華盛頓郵報說,弗林和俄羅斯大使謝爾蓋·基斯利克明確討論了奧巴馬政府在美國總統大選黑客醜聞後對俄羅斯的制裁。

這些電話是在奧巴馬政府計劃實施制裁的同時發生的,這引起了美國情報官員的懷疑,並開始進行調查。
