Former President Barack Obama warned then-President-elect Donald Trump about Michael Flynn during their Oval Office meeting two days after the election, current and former administration officials confirmed.
Obama and his staff felt Flynn was problematic and prone to what they thought of as crazy ideas, and had fired him from his job as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Obama relayed that to Trump during the 90 minutes they spent together.
Obama hadn’t planned to spend time in the meeting criticizing Flynn, but it came up as part of the conversation when the topic of personnel came up, according to a former Obama administration official. Accounts differ on how extensive he got, with one person familiar with the meeting saying that Obama forcefully told Trump to steer clear of Flynn.
This seemed to momentarily give Trump pause, the former Obama administration official said.
Some on the transition team, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, lobbied against hiring Flynn, said the person familiar with the meeting. But Trump, always one to value loyalty, decided to stick with the man who had campaigned for him so hard
