panel the FBI was romping up its own
investigation.
Sen. James Hannaford, a Republican on
the Senate intelligence committee, told
Fox News Wednesday evening that

Flynn is one of four former Trump
aides that Senate investigators sent
requests to. The other three are former
campaign foreign policy adviser
Carter Page, former campaign

Flynn seeking business records, as
part of the ongoing probe of Russian
meddling in last year' s election,
according to people familiar with the

a significant escalation of activity in the
FBI’: broader investigation begun last
July into possible ties between Trump
campaign associates and Russia.

the US Attorney' s Office in Alexandria,
Virginia, were received by associates
who worked with Flynn on contracts alter

Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014,

possible wrongdoing in how Flynn
handled disclosures about payments from
clients tied to foreign governments includ-
ing Russia and Turkey, US officials brief

The Flynn inquiry is one piece of the
broader investigation, which FBI Director
James Comer testified in a senate
hearing last week is led jointly by the
Alexandria US Attorneys Office and the
Justice Department' s National Security
Division.
