let's begin with the controversy over former national security adviser michael flynn. our senior congressional reporter manu raju is up on capitol hill with the very latest. manu, the leaders of the house oversight committee say there's no sign flynn complied with the law requiring him to disclose these payments from russia and turkey. >> yeah, indeed, wolf. in fact, one of those congressmen even suggesting that perhaps mr. flynn committed a felony by not disclosing some of the payments on his clearance forms. what's become clear, wolf, is flynn is now at the center of several investigations on capitol hill into russia and russia's meddling including the senate intelligence committee's investigates. i just spoke with the senate intelligence committee chairman richard burr and asked him would he be willing to give michael flynn immunity to testify, something that flynn's attorney has suggested. burr's response no. no immunity for michael flynn, but he does want to hear answers to the questions that owe merged today. >> this is a major problem. >> reporter: new problems

flynn. >> the original sin though is probably picking michael flynn. going to steal kevin's line here. when the obama administration fired michael flynn, it was probably a clue he might not be a great team player. there was fighting and tension with flynn based on policy reasons, based on the way he ran nsa, even without the russia stuff going on as well. he wasn't good at the job can and probably shouldn't have been picked for it. you are four months into the administration and still dealing with the fallout from picking the wrong person. >> is it credible, kevin, to act as though it is the obama administration's fault? look, it is entirely possible the obama administration made a mistake in renewing his security application in early 2016. still, at the same time michael flynn was a huge part of trump's campaign, the republican national convention, he was going to be the national security adviser. i mean both could be true, the obama team might have messed up in renewing his security clearance, but it seems a bigger deal the role he played with trump.

also philip mudd, jack kingston and michael moore, the former u.s. attorney for the middle district of georgia. good evening, everyone. pamela, we'll start with you for the news on this. the latest on the state of the russian investigation. and particularly general flynn. did he break the law in his dealings with russia while he was an adviser to the trump campaign. >> members of the house oversight committee say it's likely that he did break the law after reviewing classified documents today. after reviewing those documents they have seen no proof showing flynn received permission from the pentagon or state department for the foreign government payments he received from both russia and turkey and they say he didn't fully disclose the more than half a million dollars his firm was given for lobbying activities on behalf of turkey when he applied to reinstate his security clearance before he became the national security adviser. he didn't disclose the $45,000 he received from russia for rt tv speaking engage lt. because of those issues, it appears that

i have with me now michael allen who worked under george w. bush and now is managing director of beacon global strategies and steve hall, a retired cia chief of russia operations. great to have you all on. for people asking about questions about general flynn and the blame game, he, general flynn, was issued a security clearance under the obama administration in the spring of 2016. the trip and transactions that you're referring to occurred in december 2015. so passing the buck back to the obama administration. >> i think we're conflating a lot of different issues here. the inquiry of whether you should deserve a security clearance or not is basically you have to fill out some forms and you're sort of a judged to be able to receive suitable information. what the reporters are trying to get at is notwithstanding whether he's eligible to receive national security intelligence, did you also do a political vet of general flynn to make a judgment about whether it's a good idea for someone who sat down with president putin, to hold a position such a

michael: absolutely, that is true.ning, french gdp data is for example lacking quite a bit. if you look at sentiment indicators, that is looking a bit better. some hope that he will get the support from parliament. thanll get more votes people give it credit for because it is a new party and i think on the other side, they will get some support from the established parties because i think the established parties as a whole do not have an interest for complete blockage. that will just pave the way for one of the other parties in the election. an easyfinitely not task to reform france and not an set some new impulses in the eurozone because that is the other side which he has on his agenda. guy: very briefly, the spread oat's --unds and do you expect the honeymoon period to write and out again -- widen out again? michael: we are trading 53 in the tenure at the moment. >> i would not be surprised if we settle around 40. obviously, it will trade up and down, but if you look at the previous government, it was not that alway

the headline, again, is michael flynn. so he's become a distraction. it's very clear that he really should have not been put in that position and more vetting should have been done. >> melissa: simon, given all those things. say all of that is absolutely true. it was a while ago. it kind of feels like old news to the american public, who's wondering about their taxes, they're wondering about the budget, healthcare. it feels old. >> i think what chairman chaffetz said today was that michael flynn committed crimes and that he's a felon. that's news. that was the new thing that came out today in the press conference this morning. it means in all likelihood he will be prosecuted. then the question comes, does he turn? does he start telling -- for the prosecutors, start turning in other people in the administration who may have done other thing. jared kushner has reportedly done exactly what flynn did. he lied on his security forms about meetings he had with russian officials. i think the problem, as katie said earlier, the problem for this administration i

michael flynn? >> thank you very much. >> and manu joins us now. has flynn disclosed why he didn't disclose the payments? >> anderson, a source familiar with the case tells me that michael flynn did not file the proper paperwork with the state department acknowledging that fact. but says this was not an intentional failure to disclose information. in fact, pointing out that flynn actually did brief the defense intelligence agency before and after his trip. that was paid for by that kremlin-backed network r.t. now, the question is what will happen to michael flynn if the government finds that he did try to conceal this payment. one possibility is his pension could be hit, and that could be, according to this source, quote, very consequential to flynn because he lives off of his pension right now. at the same time, anderson, michael flynn's attorney robert kellner, putting out a statement saying the defense department was well aware that this trip occurred, also occurred through the speaker's bureau.
