Moments before departing the White House for New York City, President Trump was asked if he was worried by Michael Flynn’s guilty plea.

“No, I’m not,” dismissed Trump.
“What has been shown is no collusion,” he said. “There’s been absolutely no collusion so we’re very happy.”
“We’ll see what happens,” added Trump when asked where the investigation may go next.
On Friday, Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents about making contact with Russian Ambassador Kislyak during the transition period. In a stunning twist, the Trump White House revealed to CNN that the calls were approved by the Obama administration.
It’s important to note that not only did the Obama administration clear the calls, but the FBI under then-Director James Comey found no evidence of wrongdoing in making contact with Russian officials back in January.
