Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has demanded an immediate inquiry into the ties between Russia and the Trump Administration. This latest report came after the resignation of national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Warren posted a series of tweets on her Twitter account on Tuesday morning, demanding a "real bipartisan, transparent inquiry into Russia." She also questioned what kind of role the Trump administration had in Flynn's communications with Moscow. The senator also questioned President Donald Trump's knowledge of the situation.
"This.Is.Not.Normal. @realDonaldTrump owes Americans a full account of his admin's dealings with Russia, both before and after the election", she said in a tweet. She even claimed that Flynn could have been used a scapegoat by the Trump administration in its relationship with Russia. She called Flynn's resignation a "win for American values" and described his "blinding hatred and shady Russian ties" as a couple of reasons why he was not qualified to be a National Security Advisor.
Flynn resigned from his position last Monday after reports surfaced about he had misled Vice President Andrew Pence and other senior White House officials about his communications with Russia. According to The Hill, Flynn had reportedly been discussing sanctions made against Moscow during the Obama era before Trump was sworn into office as president.
Warren joins a list of Democrats who want an investigation on the Trump's administration's relationship with Russia and are using Flynn's resignation as a basis for it. Fellow Massachusetts Senator Edward Markey also wants an investigation into the Trump-Russia ties.
According to a report by The Guardian, President Trump had allegedly known about Flynn's communications with Moscow for weeks. Flynn's resignation came as a result of an "eroding level of trust" and not because of a potential violation of the law. Flynn stepped down after only 24 days as the Trump administration's National Security Adviser.
