Michael Flynn, President Trump’s former national security adviser, has had his security clearance suspended, according to CNN.
A Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) spokesman told CNN the suspension is a normal administrative move for clearances under “pending review.”
“[It’s when] questions arise regarding an individual’s compliance with clearance standards,” they said, adding Flynn’s clearance could be reinstated if no wrongdoing is found.
Trump earlier Wednesday defended Flynn as a “wonderful man” who was treated unfairly by the media.
