White House defends waiting 18 days to fire Flynn after warning he was vulnerable to Russian blackmail

The White House has defended its actions after then-acting Attorney General Sally Yates warned that then-national Security Adviser, Michael Flynn was vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians.

Yates told White House officials that Flynn put himself in a compromising position by offering misleading accounts of conversations he had with the Russian ambassador.  

In his daily press briefing presidential spokesman Sean Spicer called Yates a "political opponent" of the President and told reporters that it was time to move on from the Flynn story.

But he was pressed about why it took 18 days for President Trump to fire Flynn after Yates' warning.
