Flynn texted partners about nuclear plan during inauguration, whistleblower says
House Democrats say the whistleblower approached them in June, but Mueller asked them to not to make the information public until now.
Congressional Democrats said Wednesday they have evidence from a confidential whistleblower that within minutes of President Donald Trump's inauguration, then-national security adviser Michael Flynn sent assurances to former business partners that a plan to build nuclear reactors across the Middle East was "good to go."
"Our committee has credible allegations that President Trump's National Security Advisor sought to manipulate the course of international nuclear policy for the financial gain of his former business partners," Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the House oversight committee, said in the letter to Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.). "These grave allegations compel a full, credible, and bipartisan congressional investigation."
Cummings has complained for months that Gowdy won't subpoena the White House for more details about Flynn's conduct during his brief tenure as Trump's national security adviser. Flynn resigned just 24 days after Trump's inauguration after he purportedly misled Vice President Mike Pence about his conversations with Russian officials in the weeks leading up to the inauguration.
Gowdy has previously declined Cummings' call to subpoena the White House for Flynn records on the grounds that it could conflict with Mueller's probe.
"Much of what is sought by my Democratic colleagues — if properly investigated, charged and proven beyond a reasonable doubt — would carry criminal penalties," Gowdy wrote in an Oct. 18 letter to Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. "Congress does not, and cannot, prosecute crimes."
But Cummings is using the new information to suggest that Gowdy should drop his objections. He noted that he and Gowdy's predecessor, former Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, worked together to procure documents indicating that Flynn had omitted key information about foreign contacts on his security clearance forms.
