Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn received an explicit warning against accepting payments from foreign nations upon his retirement from the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014, according to documents obtained by CNN.
Flashback: This comes two days after the House Oversight Committee said there was "no evidence" Flynn properly disclosed payments for his foreign lobbying connected to Turkey and Russia.
Elijah Cummings, House Oversight's ranking member: "These documents raise grave questions about why General Flynn concealed the payments he received from foreign sources after he was warned explicitly by the Pentagon."
A senior White House official said the U.S. is considering adding North Korea to the list of state sponsors of terrorism, per Reuters.
The club: North Korea would be joining Iran, Sudan, and Syria. It was de-listed as a state sponsor in 2008 after agreeing to scale back its nuclear program.
Context: Defense Secretary Mattis, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, DNI Dan Coats, and Joint Chiefs Chairman Joesph Dunford are briefing Senators in at the White House today on North Korea.
