The son of Donald Trump's pick for national security adviser, Gen. Michael Flynn, has "no involvement" in the White House transition team, Vice President-elect Mike Pence said Tuesday.
"Gen. Flynn's son has no involvement in the transition whatsoever," Pence said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
However, The Washington Post notes one report that says Michael Flynn, Jr., who had served as his retired general's chief of staff, has "accompanied his father to presidential transition meetings." It also noted he has been given a .gov email address and lists the Trump transition team website on his Twitter bio.
"'No involvement whatsoever' is a pretty high bar," the Post column noted. That's not making the argument that Flynn Jr. doesn't have an official position; it's saying that he hasn't been involved in anything transition-related. It's hard to square that with him accompanying his dad to transition meetings."
The younger Flynn had earlier appeared to spread a false conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton and her campaign chief ran a child-sex ring, The Hill reports.
