The most influential national security job in the still-forming Trump administration was offered to Michael T. Flynn, according to a person close to the transition who requested anonymity to discuss internal conversations. Flynn is a retired three-star general who helped dismantle insurgent networks in Afghanistan and Iraq but then surprised — and sometimes dismayed — colleagues by joining the political insurgency led by Donald Trump.
As a decorated military intelligence officer and former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Flynn would have deep experience to draw upon if he serves as Trump’s principal point of contact with the State Department, the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies. But Flynn has also shown an erratic streak since leaving government that would likely make his elevation disconcerting even to those who once considered him a peer.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
