Report: Russia paid $67,000 to FlynnWASHINGTON — Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was paid more than $67,000 by Russian companies before the presidential election, according to documents released by a Democratic congressman.Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland asked the White House to provide a comprehensive record of Flynn’s contacts with foreign governments and interests.Flynn’s ties to Russia have been scrutinized by the FBI and are part of House and Senate investigations into contacts between President Donald Trump’s campaign officials and Russians.According to the documents, Flynn accepted $33,750 from Russia’s government-run television system for appearing at a Moscow event in December 2015 — a few months before Flynn began formally advising Trump’s campaign — and thousands more in expenses covered by the network and in speech fees from other Russian firms.Flynn’s financial relationship with the RT network may violate a constitutional provision against gifts from foreign governments, said Cummings, senior Democrat on the House Oversight committee.
