National Security Advisor Michael Flynn is in hot water for reportedly talking to the Kremlin about loosening sanctions before President Trump's inauguration. To make matters worse, Flynn reportedly misled Vice President Pence about those conversations.
In light of the news, several Democrats demanded Flynn leave his post. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, in a series of tweets, told Trump to make good on his old catchphrase and fire him.

Trump has been briefed on the situation and on Monday Press Secretary Sean Spicer said a White House statement is coming soon.
