Ambassador Susan Rice wrote in the email that President Obama had emphasized that everything should be done 'by the book.'
A newly declassified email shows that the Obama administration was concerned about sharing sensitive information with President Donald Trump's team because of former national security adviser Michael Flynn's communication with Russian officials.
The email describes an Oval Office meeting from earlier that month during which then-President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, former FBI Director James Comey and others discussed an intelligence briefing about Russian interference in the 2016 election. She added that President Obama asked Comey if he thought the National Security Council should stop giving Flynn"sensitive information" related to Russia. Comey responded"potentially," though he noted he had no current indication that Flynn had passed classified information to Kislyak but that the"level of communication is unusual."
