Following the resignation of Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor, Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-05) released the following statement:

"Michael Flynn's resignation is only a chapter in this story, not the end. His ties with Russia remain an ongoing concern. He cannot be a sacrificial lamb for an administration that has already displayed a troubling closeness with the Kremlin. We must continue the investigation into Flynn's communications with the Russian ambassador. The safety and security of Americans depends on it."
