Another sequence in a drama that has cast a shadow over Donald Trump’s presidency since he took charge of the White House in January 2016; Developments surrounding a months-long federal probe into alleged meddling by Russia in last year’s US presidential election, have now taken a fresh turn. In a breakthrough for prosecutors, former U-S national security adviser Michael Flynn has pleaded guilty to LYING to the FBI about his contacts with Russia's Washington ambassador in late December 2016; that’s just a month before Trump took office. Flynn confessed in his plea that a senior transition official of the Trump campaign had directed his communication with the Russians. Flynn, who served as Trump’s adviser for only three weeks, stepped aside in February after reports surfaced that his ties with the Russians could leave the president in a compromised position. Under US law, it is illegal for private citizens to be engaged in American diplomacy efforts.
