His response was to attack all of them and stick with Flynn until he had already lied to the FBI and Pence.
Now Trump lies about ever being warned, knowing that supporters will believe him. https://t.co/On4sO441ul

Trump transition officials voiced concern about Flynn's contacts with the Russian ambassador. President Obama cautioned Trump in the Oval Office against hiring Flynn. FBI came to the WH to say Flynn was compromised. Trump kept him in job until all was exposed in the press. https://t.co/N7KuZPeTM1
