Michael Flynn, President Trump’s first national security adviser, filed an amended financial disclosure form Thursday providing new details on his contacts during the presidential transition and his work as a consultant.
Flynn was fired after 24 days for misleading Vice President Mike Pence about his conversations with the Russian ambassador to the U.S.
The largest filing of income on the new form is the $140,000 he was paid by NJK Holding Corporation, a firm led by Iranian-American multimillionaire Nasser Kazeminy.
According to The Washington Post, NJK funds a technology company called GreenZone Systems, of which Flynn serves as vice chairman.
GreenZone is led by Bijan Kian, Flynn’s business partner in Flynn Intel, a company facing scrutiny for its role in lobbying work for a Dutch-based business linked to the government of Turkey.
On Thursday, the ranking Democrat on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland, asked Kian to provide information about Flynn’s foreign business contacts and travel.
Flynn has been criticized for his acceptance of foreign payments after he left as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014.
In a March disclosure form, Flynn revealed he received almost $68,000 in speaking fees and expenses for Russia-related entities in 2015. More than $45,000 of that money came from the Russian government-backed television network RT, related to a December 2015 trip Flynn took to Moscow.
He had failed to disclose the payments from Russian companies in his February disclosure form.
In a letter filed with is newest disclosure form, Flynn says his initial reports were incomplete because of rushed circumstances. He said the forms did not receive normal review provided by White House lawyers and the Office of Government Ethics.
Other Trump associates, including Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, have also been scrutinized for revealing incomplete information to the government.
Kushner initially withheld conversations he had with Russian officials on his security clearance application.
Kushner and Flynn are among the subjects of investigations into Russia’s election interference, and possible collusion with the Trump campaign.
