Скачать или смотреть Spicer: Obama Made it Clear Not a Fan of Flynn

(8 May 2017) The White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer says that former President Obama made clear to Trump he 'wasn't a fan' of Michael Flynn.
Yet Spicer said that if Obama "was truly concerned about General Flynn, why didn't he suspend General Flynn's security clearance?"
Previously three former Obama administration officials said President Obama warned Donald Trump against hiring Michael Flynn as national security adviser in the days after the 2016 election.
The warning came during an Oval Office meeting between Obama and Trump after the Republican's victory. Flynn had been fired by the Obama administration as the head of the military's intelligence branch.
Trump ultimately tapped Flynn as national security adviser, but fired him after less than a month.
On Monday, Spicer said Trump stands by his decision.
The White House says Flynn was fired for misleading top officials about his contacts with Russia's ambassador to the United States.
Trump has both defended Flynn and blamed the Obama administration for giving him security clearance.
