Gen. Mike Flynn (Ret.) resigned Monday night as President Donald Trump’s National Security Adviser, according to numerous reports. Flynn has been the subject of a concerted attack over his contacts with Russia and whether he was truthful in explaining those contacts to Vice President Mike Pence.

Replacement candidates are already being floated.

A copy of Flynn’s resignation letter was posted by the Washington Post’s Abby D. Phillip along with news of his interim successor.

“Confirmed: Flynn has resigned. Senior Admin official says Rt. General Keith Kellogg will serve as interim national security adviser.”

“Per two senior admin officials: Gen. Keith Kellogg, Vice Admiral Robert Harward and Gen. David Petraeus all in the running to replace Flynn”

ABC News posted a copy of the White House release on the National Security Adviser shuffle.
