Schakowsky calls for General Michael Flynn to be fired immediately

February 13, 2017

Today, Representative Jan Schakowsky released the following statement calling for President Donald Trump to publicly denounce and fire National Security Advisor Michael Flynn:

“Michael Flynn has to go – plain and simple. If President Trump wants to put “America First”, he should start by putting the interests of our country over the interests of Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Firing Michael Flynn for secretly communicating with the Russian Foreign Ministry, against the interests of the United States, would be a good first step. Anything short of a total and immediate termination would indicate, yet again, that Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin have a firm grip on President Trump and his Administration.”
