Jeff Flake says he and Obama keep in touchWashington Examiner, Mar 3, 2018, Daniel Chaitin
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., says he and former President Barack Obama have kept in touch even after the Democrat left the White House.
"We talk," Flake said during a wide-ranging interview with Obama's former aide, David Axelrod on "The Axe Files," which aired Saturday evening on CNN.
"He called me after the shooting to make sure I was alright after I gave my speech," Flake continued. He didn't specify which shooting or which speech, but appeared to be referring to his speech in October of last year, weeks after a deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas, during which he announced that he would not seek re-election in 2018.
The conversation about Axelrod's former boss was prompted when he spotted a framed photograph in Flake's office that showed Flake and his family with Obama and then-first lady Michelle Obama. It appeared to be signed by both Obamas.
