Pence said that Flynn did not hide information about contacts with the ex-Ambassador of the Russian Federation

Michael Flynn, who was US President Donald Trump's national security assistant until February 2017, made no attempt to hide data about his conversations with Sergei Kislyak, then the Russian ambassador to Washington. On May 1, US Vice President Michael Pence told reporters, according to Bloomberg. I am more inclined than ever to believe that it was unintentional, said the U.S. Vice President of the United States about the situation with Flynn and his communication with Kislyak. Pence also expressed his deep concern about the offensive actions taken by U.S. Justice Department officials against the former U.S. National Security Assistant Leader. It should be noted, according to the news agency, in February 2017 Michael Flynn had to resign from his post as President Trump's National Security Assistant because he allegedly did not fully provide the US Vice President with information about conversations with former Russian Ambassador Kislyak.
