Michael Flynn's son has suggested that there's a conspiracy behind his father's resignation from the Trump Administration.

The former Army lieutenant general stepped down from his position as President Trump's national security adviser late Monday night, after admitting he misled the vice president about his talks with Russian diplomats after the election.

Hours after Flynn's resignation was announced, his son Michael Flynn Jr. took to Twitter, writing: 'The disinformation campaign against my father won. #AmericaFirst #USA #Flynn #FlynnResignation.'

Flynn resigned Monday after admitting he misled the vice president about his talks with Russian diplomats after the election. But his son (tweet above) thinks there's a bigger story at play. He quickly deleted this tweet after posting it on Tuesday

Just minutes later, Flynn took down the post. But he's continued to show his skepticism about the move by retweeting an op-ed from right-wing outlet The Daily Caller, which calls for support of Flynn.

Michael Flynn Jr. has been known to peddle conspiracy theories in the past, most notably after the election, when he tweeted several times about #PizzaGate.

The debunked conspiracy theory alleged that the Clintons were connected to a child-sex ring that was run out of a DC-area pizza shop.

Clinton herself responded to Flynn's resignation on Monday, tweeting that there's 'real consequences of fake news'.

The Flynns pushed a conspiracy theory about the Clintons being involved in a child-sex ring. That theory has been debunked. Clinton's tweet on Monday seemed to be a reference to that conspriacy theory

Retired Army Lieutenant General Flynn resigned on Monday after revelations he had discussed US sanctions on Russia with the Russian ambassador to the United States before Trump took office and misled Vice President Mike Pence about the conversations.

His stunning announcement, first reported by CNN, came just hours after sources close to the government revealed that the Justice Department had warned the new administration that his links with the Kremlin had put him in a compromising position and left him open to blackmail.

Flynn made numerous phone calls to the Russian Ambassador to the US before Trump took office, and later hinted he may have gone against diplomatic protocol by discussing the rollback of sanctions.

Retired general Keith Kellogg will take over as acting National Security Advisor.

Former CIA Director David Petraeus and US Navy Admiral Michelle Howard are among the names being touted as a replacement.
