Flynn, who has been Trump's top military adviser during the campaign, has been repeatedly named as a candidate for the office of US national security adviser, according to US media.
According to the Yahoo News media outlet, Flynn started to receive the classified security briefings, while he was also the head of the Flynn Intel Group that offered "all-source intelligence support," including to the foreigners.
