President Barack Obama warned then President-elect Donald Trump in November against hiring retired Gen. Michael Flynn to serve as his national security adviser, three Obama administration officials told NBC on Monday.
The Associated Press and CNN have also reported that Obama discouraged Trump from appointing Flynn to the position.
The reports said Obama, who fired Flynn as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency roughly two years after appointing him to the position in 2012, warned Trump against hiring Flynn during a 90-minute conversation they had at the White House on November 10, two days after Trump's surprise election victory.
