Yates-Flynn timeline shows how Trump administration may have been engaged in coordinated cover-up

Yates-Flynn timeline shows how Trump administration may have been engaged in coordinated cover-up

Sally Yates will finally testify Monday on what she knows about possible contacts between Trump campaign officials and Russia — and there’s evidence to suggest she may drop some bombshell revelations.

It seems like every time Yates’ name or explosive claims about Russia enter the news cycle, President Donald Trump and his allies lash out.

The veteran Justice Department attorney took over as acting attorney general until Trump’s choice, Jeff Sessions, could be confirmed, but she quickly drew the ire of the incoming administration after raising red flags about one of the new president’s most trusted advisers.

Jan. 26: Yates warned White House counsel Don McGahn that Mike Flynn, Trump’s national security adviser and a finalist for the vice presidency, might have been “compromised” by Russia. She privately told McGahn that Flynn was lying about conversations with Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak about easing sanctions levied by the outgoing Obama administration against Russia for interfering with the U.S. presidential election.
