The White House is "evaluating the situation" when it comes to national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to White House press secretary Sean Spicer.

An hour earlier, a senior Trump adviser, Kellyanne Conway, said on MSNBC that President Trump continues to have "full confidence" in Flynn.

Notably, however, Trump declined to express that same sentiment. When asked by White House reporters in a scrum in the West Wing if he had "full confidence" in Flynn, Trump deferred to a statement to come. (Trump did, however, express full confidence in Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. "Reince is doing a great job," Trump said. "Not a good job. A great job.&quot

"Look at the statement, look at the statement," Trump said. Spicer was asked if he had the statement and read it:

"The president is evaluating the situation. He's speaking to the vice president — to Vice President Pence, relative to the conversation the vice president had with Gen. Flynn and also speaking to various other people about what he considers the single most important subject there is, our national security."

and will want a major investigation.

Is there one patriot in the entire party?
