Despite Kushner ' s conclusion that Kislyak did not wield influence inside
the Russian government, the Transition Team turn ed to Flynn's relationship with Kislyak on
both issues. As to the sanctions, Flynn spoke by phone to K.T. McFarland , his incoming deputy ,
to prepare for his call to Kislyak; McFarland was with the President-Elect and other senior
members of the Transition Team at Mar-a-Lago at the time. Although transition officials at Mara-Lago had some concern about possible Russian reactions to the sanctions, the investigation did
not identify evidence that the President-Elect asked Flynn to make any request to Kislyak. Flynn
asked Kislyak not to escalate the situation in response to U.S. sanctions imposed on December 29,
2016 , and Kislyak later reported to Flynn that Russia acceded to that request.
