Daily Mail: Russian officials blame Michael Flynn's resignation on 'Russophobia infecting the new administration' and claim he was put under pressure to quit
* MP Konstantin Kosachev said Flynn's resignation from national security advisor was a sign of 'not just paranoia but something even worse' in the White House
* Said forcing Flynn to resign was a sign that Trump's administration had been 'infected' by anti-Russian feeling
* MP Alexei Pushkov said shortly after the announcement that 'it was not Flynn who was targeted but relations with Russia'
* Flynn resigned on Monday after revelations he had discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador before Trump took office
A senior Russian lawmaker said today that the resignation of Donald Trump's national security advisor, Michael Flynn, suggested Trump had been backed into a corner or that his administration had been 'infected' by anti-Russian feeling.
Flynn resigned late 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.
'Either Trump has not gained the requisite independence and he is consequently being not unsuccessfully backed into a corner, or
Russophobia has already infected the new administration also from top to bottom,' MP Konstantin Kosachev was cited as saying by the RIA Novosti news agency.
