Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates appeared before a Senate panel Wednesday where she pushed back against attacks by Republicans aimed at undercutting the legitimacy of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Early in the hearing, Trump took to Twitter to attack Yates as having"zero credibility" and being"a part of the greatest political crime of the Century." Yates has said she believed the proper course was to instead inform the White House first about Flynn's false public statements regarding his conversations with Kislyak, which she said posed a potential counterintelligence threat that could make him vulnerable to Russian blackmail.
Additionally, Yates disputed Graham's repeated claims that the FBI had closed its investigation into Flynn on Jan. 4, prior to their interviews with him -- as well as his claim that Flynn was being investigated over a mere"policy difference" with the Obama Administration's sanctions targeting Russia's election meddling.
