Donald Trump Denies Collusion Between His Campaign And Russia After Michael Flynn’s Guilty Plea<\/b>
\nDonald Trump has denied there was any collusion between his campaign and Russia after ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn admitted lying to the FBI.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the matter for the first time since Flynn\u2019s guilty plea on Friday, the US President told reporters as he departed the White House: \u201cWhat has been shown is no collusion, no collusion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump added on Saturday:\u00a0\u201cThere\u2019s been absolutely no collusion, so we\u2019re very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Flynn was the first member of Trump\u2019s administration to plead guilty to a crime uncovered by special counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s wide-ranging investigation into Russian attempts to influence the 2016 US presidential election and possible collusion by Trump aides.<\/p>\n

Flynn admitted in a Washington court that he had lied to FBI investigators about discussions he had last December with Russia\u2019s ambassador to the US,\u00a0Sergei Kislyak.<\/p>\n

In what appeared to be moves undermining the policies of outgoing President Barack Obama, the pair discussed US sanctions on Russia, and Flynn asked Kislyak to help delay a United Nations vote seen as damaging to Israel, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n

Flynn also was told by a \u201cvery senior member\u201d of Trump\u2019s transition team to contact Russia and other foreign governments to try to influence them ahead of the vote, the prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Sources told Reuters the \u201cvery senior\u201d transition official was Jared Kushner,\u00a0Trump\u2019s son-in-law and senior advisor. Kushner\u2019s lawyer did not respond to multiple requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Flynn, a former Defense Intelligence Agency director, only held his position as Trump\u2019s national security adviser for 24 days.<\/p>\n

He was forced to resign after he was found to have misled Vice President Mike Pence about his discussions with Kislyak.<\/p>\n

Flynn, a retired US Army lieutenant, agreed to cooperate with the official investigation as part of his plea on Friday.
