Former National Security Adviser General Michael Flynn. RT, the Russian state-owned television network described by U.S. intelligence officials as the Kremlins principal international propaganda outlet, paid $45,386 for former Defense Intelligence Agency Director Michael Flynn to fly to Moscow to speak at its 10th anniversary celebration in December 2015, according to documents newly obtained by a congressional committee and provided to Yahoo News.
At the Russian governments expense, Flynn who was fired last month as President Trumps national security adviser was accompanied by his son, Michael Flynn Jr., on the three-day, all-expenses-paid trip, where they both stayed at the five-star Hotel Metropol in Moscow next to Red Square, according to documents obtained from Flynns speakers bureau, Leading Authorities.
The agency took a 25 percent commission, leaving $33,750 for Flynn. The Moscow booking was one of three speaking engagements the ex-DIA chief received from Russian interests after being fired from his Pentagon post in 2014 and before joining the Trump campaign as its principal national security adviser, the documents turned over to the committee show.
The other payments, of $11,250 each, were by two Russian companies, Volga-Dnieper, a cargo airline, and Kaspersky Government Security Solutions, a computer firm. Both talks appear to have been to U.S. subsidiaries of the companies, which are privately owned.
