Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump's first National Security Adviser, has registered as a foreign agent for the Republic of Srpska, a Bosnian Serb entity led by Milorad Dodik, described as President Vladimir Putin's closest European ally.
Conservative journalist Scott McMahan confirmed Flynn filed the Foreign Agent Registration Act paperwork and is receiving a monthly payment of $100,000.
Trump's loyal online supporters have publicly criticized the move.
Conservative personality Catturd questioned the payment's amount. Other MAGA personalities reacted, as well.
Sebastian Gorka, Trump's Senior Director for Counterterrorism on the National Security Council, explained he signed two documents promising not to work for foreign governments when he joined the administration.
"In one I promised to not work as a lobbyist for a decade. In the second, I promised to never work for another government. I was happy to sign both. I presume GEN Flynn also signed similar documents."
The story further evolved when national security analyst and investigative journalist Ryan Mauro, reported Glenn Diesen, a Norwegian political scientist associated with Russian ultranationalist Alexander Dugin, spoke at a recent Flynn event alongside former CBS journalist and conservative commentator Lara Logan.
Flynn, who previously pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about Russian contacts before receiving a Trump pardon, has not publicly responded.
