Idlike to ask him whether that conversation he had with the Russian ambassador was a one-off conversation or there were others? Who in the White House instructed him to have those conversations? Whether he debriefed people in the administration after those conversations?, Schiff said during a Sunday interview on ABCs This Week.

He added, Essentially, who was aware that he had reported falsely to the vice president, and then the vice president, in turn, had misled the American people?

Reports alleging that Flynnhad misled Vice President Mike Pence on discussions he had with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak before Trump took office surfaced in the media. However, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) ruled out any charges against him, barring new information that changes what they know.

Last week, 20 Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee penned a letter tothe committees chairman, Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA) urging him to call on Flynn to testify before them.

We believe General Flynn must appear before the Committee, under oath as soon as possible, they wrote. General Flynns resignation leaves many questions unanswered about his and President Trumps ties to Russia and wether American national security and intelligence operations have been compromised.

The letter was signed by Democratic Reps. David Cicilline (D-RI), Brad Sherman (D-CA), Gregory Meeks (D-NY), Albio Sires (D-NJ), Gerald Connolly (D-VA), Theodore Deutch (D-FL), Karen Bass (D-CA), William Keating (D-MA), Ami Bera (D-CA), Lois Frankel (D-FL), Joaqun Castro (D-TX), Robin Kelly (D-IL), Brendan Boyle (D-PA), Dina Titus (D-NV), Norma Torres (D-CA), Thomas Suozzi (D-NY), Adriano Espaillat (D-NY), Ted Lieu (D-CA), Bradley Schneider (D-IL) and Tulsi Gabbard(D-HI).

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News Friday,Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R.-CA), a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, saidFlynn was treated unfairly and perhaps illegally in the scandal that forced his resignation as TrumpsNational Security Advisor.

President Trump has consistently denied attempts to tie him to Russia.

In October, following months of investigation into suspected foreign meddling in the U.S. election, Breitbart News reported that the FBI determined Trump did not have ties to the Russian government.
