Flynn, who was forced to resign after his ties to Russia were made public, now wants immunity in exchange for his testimony to Congress.
Trump, using his Twitter account, declared war on some key members of his own party: the House Freedom Caucus. Twenty-five of the group’s 35-40 members vowed to vote against Trumpcare, perhaps the reason the legislation was pulled minutes before its scheduled vote.

Rep. Nunes has remained mum about who summoned him to the White House to tell him that U.S. spy agencies had “incidentally” collected communications from Trump and his allies while surveilling foreign targets, but we may be closer to an answer.
