Caught out

Only three weeks and three days into his appointment as National Security Advisor, Flynn resigned amid allegations he discussed US sanctions with Russia before Donald Trump took office, and was said to have misled officials about his call with Russia's ambassador. His resignation letter claimed he had "inadvertently briefed the vice-president-elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian ambassador"

Pizzagate

After holding a position in Trump's transition team, Flynn was fired after he and his father both tweeted outlandish conspiracy theories accusing Mrs Clinton and her aides of child-sex trafficking at Comet Ping-Pong Pizzeria in Washington. The bizarre conspiracy ended in gunfire when Edgar Welch entered the restaurant and fired a rifle into the ground after threatening a member of staff.
