White House was warned over Michael Flynn, says US official

White House was warned over Michael Flynn, says US official Sally Yates, former US attorney general, has said that she warned the White House that false statements by Michael Flynn, the national security adviser who was later dismissed, had exposed him to potential blackmail by the Russians. Yates made the disclosure at a Senate committee investigating Russian interference in last year's US presidential election. Al Jazeera's James Bays reports from Washington, DC.
