Former national security adviser Michael Flynn did not list payments from Russian companies on his original financial disclosure forms submitted in February.
The retired lieutenant general filed an amended financial disclosure on Friday reporting speaking payments from three Russia-linked companies, including the state-backed news outlet RT.
The new disclosure was first reported by The Daily Beast.
Flynn was paid $45,000 by RT in 2015 to speak at the group"s 10th anniversary gala. The two other companies – Kaspersky Government Security Solutions, a U.S. subsidiary of Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab, and Russia-based Volga-Dnepr Airlines – paid him more than $5,000, according to the documents.
Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee had released documents last month that included the payments. Those documents showed that Flynn received $11,250 from Volga-Dnepr Airlines in August 2015 and $11,250 in October 2015 from the Kaspersky Lab subsidiary.
