the wall street journal reports that mike flynn as trump's national security advisor in his brief tenure in the white house, according to the journal, he aggressively pursued at least one project he had been paid to promote as a consultant. a controversial plan to build nuclear power plants in the middle east. according to the journal sources, even after national security counsel staff pushed back on thatted a va ed a va a flynn, if you've been paid to promote this deal from staff, people hired by and loyal to flynn inside the white house reportedly continued to promote flynn's plan. and that brings me to our nightly reminder that the president of the united states now says he will not be providing any financial assistance to mike flynn's legal defense fund. not a dime. washington post tonight reports that the president has been telling people for example at his golf club over the holiday break, he's been telling random passers by and friends that he is definitely sure the russia investigations and the muller inquiry itself will definitely be done by the end of this year. quote, hanging

beforehand, he would have been national security adviser, he would be guilty of kidnapping, to pay to get someone out of the country. but "the wall street journalclear whether what they were talking about was an extradition or some influence that flynn would have used as national security adviser because remember, he's already been picked as national security adviser so once he's in, this would be a priority. on that point, i have to say flynn is his own worst enemy because on the day of the inauguration, of all the issues that the national security adviser has to deal with, he decided to write an editorial on this issue? of all the issues this country is confronting, making him suggest that at least the turks had his year about getting rid of the cleric. >> richard, what part of this is worse or troubling for michael flynn? hearing out a plot or being offered millions of dollars to do it? >> well, both are crimes. kidnapping is a crime. it's also a crime to accept a bribe. accept cash in return for action. it's also a crime to participate in any united states government matter in which you have a financial interest under code 208. it's further
