A member of Trump's transition team mentioned to a colleague in an email exchange that Russia "has just thrown the U.S.A. election to him," according to a report Saturday.
The email, from K.T. McFarland, was described by the New York Times in a report that cast doubt on public claims the White House has made distancing Trump officials from former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who on Friday pleaded guilty in federal court to lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russian ambassador.
Speaking to a colleague in a Dec. 29 email exchange, McFarland addressed sanctions the Obama administration slapped on Russia in retaliation for interfering in the 2016 election process. The Times said McFarland, when she mentioned the election, was explaining how the sanctions would make it more difficult for Trump improve the U.S.-Russia relationship.
