Flynn sought control over CIA reporting new claims
Former CIA Director James Woolsey says Michael Flynn asked to head the agency and have CIA reporting go to him rather than the president. Woolsey, who led the agency early in the Clinton era, recounted the call and Flynn’s condition. Flynn’s allies call Woolsey’s account false. Pompeo remains reporting to Trump, briefing him daily. Flynn’s past consulting tied to a Turkish businessman and a Dutch firm complicates his current investigations into Russia and Turkey.
