Trump  was aware of the issue a couple of weeks before a conversation with then-FBI Director James B. Comey in which Comey said the president asked him if he could be lenient while investigating Flynn  whom  Trump  had just fired for misleading Pence about the nature of his conversations with the Russian.
According to notes kept by Comey   Trump  asked if he could see “his way clear to letting this go  to letting Flynn go.”  Trump  fired Comey in May.
In a pre-dawn tweet Sunday   Trump  issued a fresh rebuttal to Comey  writing: “I never asked Comey to stop investigating Flynn. Just more Fake News covering another Comey lie!” The tweet was part of a running commentary from  Trump  that began Saturday  a day after Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and indicated he would cooperate with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III  who is probing Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Dowd confirmed Sunday that he had drafted the tweet for  Trump  and acknowledged that it was sloppily worded. He said it was inaccurate to say  the president  was told that Flynn had lied to the FBI. Dowd said Sunday that  Trump  knew only what acting attorney general Sally Yates had told the White House counsel: that Flynn’s accounts to the agents interviewing him were the same as those Flynn gave Pence  and “that the [Justice] Department was not accusing him of lying.”
Dowd played down the significance of  Trump ’s tweet. He said he did not intend to make news and declared  “I’m out of the tweeting business.”

If  Trump  knew that Flynn might not have been accurate with the FBI  it could provide motivation for any alleged effort to obstruct justice  said Barak Cohen  a former federal prosecutor who does white-collar defense work at the Perkins Coie law firm. “It bolsters the intent for committing obstruction ” he said.
The person  who  like others  spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly  said that White House officials quickly realized the tweet could significantly assist Mueller if he chooses to pursue an obstruction case. The development sparked particular concern because others around  Trump  were not certain that  Trump  knew Flynn had made a false statement to the FBI at the time he fired him  the person added.
McGahn was told Jan. 30 that the material was ready for his review  the officials said. On that night   Trump  fired Yates over her refusal to defend his travel ban.
A person familiar with McGahn’s account says the White House counsel did not give  Trump  any indication in January that Flynn had violated the law in his FBI interview or tell  the president  that  he  believed Flynn was under criminal investigation.
As controversy built Sunday about  Trump’s  actions  he sought to focus attention on news that Peter Strzok — the former top FBI official assigned to Mueller’s probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election — was taken off that job this summer after his bosses discovered that he and another member of Mueller’s team had exchanged politically charged texts disparaging  Trump  and supporting Democrat Hillary Clinton.
“Report: ‘ANTI-TRUMP FBI AGENT LED CLINTON EMAIL PROBE’ Now it all starts to make sense!”  Trump  wrote.  He  also criticized the FBI and promised to bring it back to “greatness” under  his  administration.
“After years of Comey  with the phony and dishonest Clinton investigation (and more)  running the FBI  its reputation is in Tatters - worst in History!”  Trump  wrote on Twitter. “But fear not  we will bring it back to greatness.”

A statue of  Jackie Robinson  in a football uniform was unveiled Wednesday just outside of the Rose Bowl.
Before breaking Major League Baseball's color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947   Robinson  was an accomplished football player.  He  played for Pasadena City College in 1937 and '38  then continued  his  career with UCLA.

The adviser   George Papadopoulos   offered to set up âa meeting between us and the Russian leadership to discuss US-Russia ties under President Trump â telling them  his  Russian contacts welcomed the opportunity  according to internal campaign emails read to The Washington Post.
But  Papadopoulos   a campaign volunteer with scant foreign policy experience  persisted. Between March and September  the self-described energy consultant sent at least a half-dozen requests for Trump  as he turned from primary candidate to party nominee  or for members of his team to meet with Russian officials. Among those to express concern about the effort was then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort  who rejected in May 2016 a proposal from  Papadopoulos  for Trump to do so.
The exchanges are among more than 20 000 pages of documents the Trump campaign turned over to congressional committees this month after review by White House and defense lawyers. The selection of  Papadopoulos âs emails were read to The Post by a person with access to them. Two other people with access to the emails confirmed the general tone of the exchanges and some specific passages within them.

 Papadopoulos  emerges from the sample of emails as a new and puzzling figure in the examination of the Trump campaignâs contacts with Russian officials and their proxies during the 2016 election  now the subject of a special-counsel investigation.
Less than a decade out of college   Papadopoulos  appeared to hold little sway within the campaign  and it is unclear whether  he  was acting as an intermediary for the Russian government  although  he  told campaign officials  he  was.
While the emails illustrate  his  eagerness to strengthen the campaignâs connections to the Russian government   Papadopoulos  does not spell out in them why it would be in Trumpâs interest to do so.  His  entreaties appear to have generated more concern than excitement within the campaign  which at the time was looking to seal the Republican nomination and take on a heavily favored Hillary Clinton in the general election.
Three months after  Papadopoulos  raised the possibility of a meeting between Trump and Russian President VladiÂ­mir Putin  the presidentâs son Donald Trump Jr. and son-in-law Jared Kushner met with a delegation led by a Russian lawyer offering to provide damaging information on Clinton.
Manafort attended that Trump Tower session in June 2016  a meeting now under scrutiny in the special counselâs collusion inquiry. But the new emails reveal that Manafort had rejected a request from  Papadopoulos  just the previous month to set up a meeting between Trump and Russian officials.
And also in July  a few weeks after  Papadopoulos  asked  his  superiors whether other campaign advisers or aides could accept some of the Russiansâ invitations  Carter Page  another foreign policy adviser  spoke at a Russian university in Moscow. Page said  he  made the trip independently of the campaign.
Papadopoulos  a former intern and researcher at the conservative Hudson Institute  was on a list of campaign volunteers that Trump announced as his foreign policy advisory team during a meeting with The Postâs editorial board in March 2016. Trump called  Papadopoulos  an âexcellent guy.â
Almost immediately   Papadopoulos  came under scrutiny for  his  lack of experience.  He  graduated from college in 2009  and  his  LinkedIn profile cited  his  participation in a Model U.N. program for students among  his  qualifications.  Papadopoulos  did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
Page  who has been the subject of a foreign surveillance warrant over  his  connections to Russia  said the  Papadopoulos  email exchange was another sign that the Russia communications were inconsequential.
âThe entirely benign offer from a volunteer member of the Trump movement is infinitely less relevant than the real collusion in the 2016 election â said Page  who was copied on the first  Papadopoulos  email communication in March. Page said in an email exchange Saturday that âthe real scandal lies among Clinton and Obama associates who fed false evidenceâ to investigators that he said formed the basis of the federal warrant concerning him.
 Papadopoulos  made more than a half-dozen overtures on behalf of Russians or people with Russia contacts whom  he  claimed to know.
Undeterred   Papadopoulos  alerted then-campaign manager Corey Lewandowski in an April email that  he  was receiving âa lot of calls over the past monthâ about arranging a Russia meeting.
