Trump lied: Spicer confirms he knew about Flynn for weeks, but last week he said he didn't know

On Saturday, February 11, Donald Trump was asked by the press about the accusations against Michael Flynn regarding his phone call with the Russian embassador. According to USA Today, Trump suggested he didn't know by saying he would "look into" it. And according to a CNN video, he flat out said "I don't know about that. I haven't seen it. What report is that?" :

But it turns out Trump DID know. For WEEKS. And today his Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, confirmed it.

According to The New York Times:

President Trump was informed more than two weeks ago that his national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, had not told the truth about his interactions with Russia’s ambassador and eventually asked for Mr. Flynn’s resignation after concluding he could not be trusted, the White House said on Tuesday.

At his daily briefing, Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, said the president’s team has been “reviewing and evaluating this issue on a daily basis trying to ascertain the truth,” and ultimately concluded that while there was no violation of law, Mr. Flynn could no longer serve in his position.

Of course he knew. The FBI interviwed Flynn about it and former acting Attorney General Sally Yates told the White House Flynn could be blackmailed by Russia.
