Michael Flynn Complains as DoD Seeks $38k He Received From Russia

Michael Flynn, the disgraced former national security adviser under Donald Trump, has criticized the U.S. Army for attempting to retrieve nearly $40,000 he received from Russia in 2015.

Retired Lt. Gen. Flynn, who was convicted of lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia before being pardoned by Trump, accused the Department of Defense of trying to "embarrass" him by trying to get money he was paid by the Kremlin.

In a May 2 letter, the Army said Flynn may have violated the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution—which states that no person holding office can accept a gift from a foreign state—after he was paid by state-controlled television network Russia Today to attend a gala in December 2015.

Flynn was interviewed on stage at the event, where he was also seated alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin.

For his dumber followers, he never says why the DOD is taking his money.

Mike, you screwed up.
