Mr Flynn was revealed to have held a conversation with a Russian diplomat about sanctions prior to the inauguration of Donald Trump.
In his resignation letter, he admitted giving Vice President Mike Pence "incomplete information" about his calls with the Russian ambassador to the United States.
Mike Pence had initially said that the national security adviser had not discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador.
Mr Flynn later conceded the issue may have arisen, in his resignation letter:

During his appearance at the Republican National Convention, he led the audience in cries of:

He told the crowd:
