Roughly sixteen hours after the Washington Post reported that Michael Flynn had discussed sanctions with Russia before Trump took office, Trump told reporters he had not seen anything about the story, asking "What report is that?" The remarks drew attention because the report was major national news and fueled questions about what the White House knew about Flynn's contacts with the Russian ambassador.
Why now: The Washington Post had just broken the Flynn-Russia sanctions story, and Trump's professed unawareness struck observers as implausible and telling.
