Rachel Maddow Explains Why Yesterday’s Mike Flynn News Is So Important

Maddow continues her stellar work connecting the dots on the Trump-Russia scandal. 

Lost amid all the Mike Flynn news on Tuesday was a report that noted that the payments Flynn received for lobbying work on behalf of Turkey are connected to Russia.



On her show Tuesday night, Maddow highlights the important details of the Politico report about that Flynn’s Turkish client is, in fact, a Russian client.

According to Politico, “The Turkish man who gave Mike Flynn a $600,000 lobbying deal just before President Donald Trump picked him to be national security adviser has business ties to Russia, including a 2009 aviation financing deal negotiated with Vladimir Putin, according to court records.”
