reporter: michael flynn may have broken the law by not disclosing on his security clearance form payments he received for a 2015 trip to moscow paid for by that kremlin based television network. that actually had actually paid michael flynn up to $45,000 to appear at that event in moscow in 2015. him not disclosing that allegedly on that 2016 security clearance form. also not disclosing, not getting permission for receiving payments from the russian entities as well as turkish entities as required by the law, something that he has to do as a former military officer. yesterday jason chaffetz the chairman of the house oversight committee was pretty blunt about the prospects of mr. flynn possibly breaking the law. personally i see no
information or no data to support the notion that general flynn complied with the law and that is he was supposed to seek permission and receive permission from both the secretary of state and the secretary of the army prior to traveling to russia to not only accept that payment but to engage in that activity. as a former military officer you simply cannot take money from russia, turkey or anybody else. and it appears as if he did take that money. reporter: michael flynn the center of a number of investigations on capitol hill. one the senate intelligence committee which is looking at the broader issue of russia meddling in elections and campaign ties that occurred between trump officials and russian officials, a cyber campaign that was launched under the orders of vladimir putin to influence the elections. michael flynn s role in that central to the senate intelligent committee s investigation.
influence the elections. michael flynn s role in that central to the central intelligence agency. thank you. flynn s lawyers say his client is not hiding anything and claims he briefed the u.s. defense intelligence agencies about his paid trip. he claims flynn answered all questions that were posed by the dia during those briefings. the trump border wall no longer standing in the way to fund the federal government. the white house budget director said the president is willing to sign a bill that does not include known begin construction on border wall so that a government shutdown can be avoided. backing off his demand the president says for him nothing has changed. the wall will be built. in case anybody has any question. the wall will be built and the wall will stop drugs and stop a lot of people from coming in that shouldn t be here and have a huge effect on human trafficking which is a tremendous problem in this
1% and actually raise taxes on millions of middle income families so that will be very key to see how that comes down here today. will it be real the? it looks like the border adjustability is out. that was a big debate between retailers. and the house. we ll see what the deficit hawks and folks who have been crafting tax policy have to say about the president s principles. growth will pay for all the additional debt that we ll be taking on. anyway a legal battle may be looming for michael flynn. two top members of the house oversight committee raising serious concerns about payments made to flynn by the russians and whether he broke the law. while the committee was able to review some classified documents related to flynn they did not get to review others.
