Donald Trump’s ex-national security adviser is reportedly being probed by the FBI over claims he discussed removing a Turkish man from America for millions of dollars.

Michael Flynn met with Turkish government officials last December to discuss the plan, according to claims being looked at by the official investigation into the Trump campaign.

The alleged plot would have seen Mr Flynn and his son paid $15 million to remove Fethullah Gulen, a Muslim cleric blamed by the Turkish authorities for a recent coup, and fly him to Turkey.

It was reportedly discussed at a meeting in New York just weeks before Mr Flynn would enter Mr Trump’s administration.
