Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) “is not ruling out holding Michael Flynn in contempt of Congress as President Trump’s former national security adviser continues to stonewall Congress,” Politico reports.

Burr said his committee has “plenty” of options to respond: “You’ll just have to wait and watch. Contempt is certainly one of the avenues that we could pursue. It does us no good to have people insist on pleading the Fifth if you’re out trying to get information. The only thing I can tell you is immunity is off the table.”

Former national security adviser Michael Flynn “did not include receiving thousands of dollars in speaking fees from three Russian companies in initial financial disclosures to the Office of Government Ethics,” CNN reports.

“Flynn’s initial disclosures, which he submitted in mid-February, left out that he received money from Russia’s state-funded television network, RT, for a speech in Moscow and from air cargo company Volga-Dnepr Airlines and cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Government Security Solutions Inc. for speaking engagements in the United States.”
