Trump Accuses Sally Yates Of Leaking “Classified Information Into The Newspapers”

Later today at 2:30 PM EST, former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates and Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee to answer more questions about Russian Interference in the 2016 United States Election.

Yates reportedly told the White House that Flynn might have misled the administration about the content of his communications with Sergey Kislyak. Which, of course, turned out to be true and resulted in Trump also firing Flynn in February after reports he misled Vice President Mike Pence and other White House officials were confirmed.
