President Donald Trump has said that there was “absolutely no collusion” between his election campaign and Russia, in his first comments over a guilty plea by his former national security adviser Michael Flynn in connection with the Russia investigation.
Mr Flynn pleaded guilty to a charge of lying to the FBI about his contact with Russian officials and had agreed to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into election meddling by Moscow and possible collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign team.
Mr Trump spoke as he departed the White House to head to New York for fundraisers expected to raise millions of dollars. He added that he was "not worried" about what Mr Flynn might tell investigators as he cooperates with the probe.
Mr Flynn is the first official within the Trump administration to have be charged in relation to the investigation, but is the fourth person connected to the Trump campaign .
In October, Mr Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and his associate Rick Gates, were charged with 12 counts of financial crimes related to their work in Ukraine. At the same time, Mr Mueller revealed foreign policy adviser, George Papadopoulos, had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about contacts with Russia-linked individuals - a similar charge that Mr Flynn admitted to as part of the plea deal.
