Officials Investigating Michael Flynn over Call to Russian Ambassador
---------------------------------------------------------------------

U.S. officials say they are investigating a phone call between President
Trump's national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and Russia's
ambassador to the United States. The call was on December 29-the same
day President Obama imposed sanctions against Russia and expelled
diplomats, in retaliation for the alleged Russian hacking of the U.S.
election. U.S. officials are also investigating a handful of Donald
Trump's close associates, including former campaign manager Paul
Manafort, over possible ties to Russia.
