That makes no sense: Matt Lauer nukes Kellyanne Conways attempt to sweep Flynn scandal under the rug
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/that-makes-no-sense-matt-lauer-nukes-kellyanne-conways-attempt-to-sweep-flynn-scandal-under-the-rug/
While being interviewed by Matt Lauer on Tuesday morning, Conway tried to claim that Flynn really did have Trumps full confidence right up until Monday evening, when it became apparent that Flynn had misled Vice President Mike Pence about his discussions with Russian officials about American sanctions.
I think misleading the vice president really was the key here, Conway told Lauer. I spoke with the president this morning, and he asked me to speak on his behalf, and to reiterate that Mike Flynn had resigned. He decided that this situation had become unsustainable for him.
Youre saying that was the straw that broke the camels back, but the White House knew about that last month when the Justice Department warned the White House that Gen. Flynn had not been completely honest in characterizing that conversation with the Russian ambassador, he countered.
Conway replied that Flynn had retained the full confidence of the president throughout this ordeal until Monday night, when obviously the situation had become unsustainable.

OP
All things considered it does seem possible that Trump did have such confidence...
