Trump team was told Flynn might need to register

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House has confirmed the president's transition team was informed before Inauguration Day that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn might need to register as a foreign agent with the Justice Department.

That's according to a White House official and a person with direct knowledge of discussions between transition lawyers and Flynn representatives.

The White House had been unclear about when it was told of Flynn's lobbying that may have aided the Turkish government.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Thursday he didn't believe President Donald Trump knew of Flynn's foreign agent work before his appointment.

Still doesn't address Rep. Cummings letter to Pence last November warning them about Flynns extracurricular activities.

All possibilities are bad ....

Vetting was incompetent and DT didn't know
DT knew and he didn't care and they're lying about when he knew it
DT didn't know and he doesn't care and his administration kept him in the dark
