QUESTION: Do you have any — have you heard any evidence at all, seen anything about anyone in the White House directing Mr. Flynn to discuss the issue — any issues with the Russian ambassador? Did anyone in the White House tell him to do that?

NUNES: No, look, I think this whole issue with General Flynn — General Flynn is an American war hero, one of the — put together one of the greatest military machines in our history providing the intelligence to basically eliminate al-Qaeda from Iraq. And he was the national security adviser designee, he was taking multiple calls a day from ambassadors, from foreign leaders and look, I know this because the foreign leaders were contacting me trying to get in touch with the transition team and folks that wanted to meet with President Trump or — President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect Pence.
