Flynn Loses His Security Clearance

Retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, who earned the ignominious distinction of becoming the shortest-serving national security adviser when he resigned this week is now suffering a new indignity -- his security clearance has been suspended by the agency he once commanded.

The Defense Intelligence Agency has suspended Flynn's "access to classified information...pending a review," said DIA spokesman Jim Kudla in an interview Wednesday. "This is a standard administrative action taken when questions arise concerning an individual's compliance with security matters."
