Senior White House official refuses to say if Trump supports Michael Flynn

A few hours after North Korea fired a ballistic missile into the sea, and after a week of intensified civil war in Ukraine and disputes over a deadly US raid in Yemen, a senior White House official refused to say if Donald Trump supports his national security adviser, Michael Flynn, who reportedly spoke with Russia’s ambassador about sanctions relief weeks before the new president took office.

“It’s not for me to tell you what’s in the president’s mind,” Stephen Miller, a senior policy adviser to Trump, told NBC’s Meet the Press.
