Asked about Flynn, watch Trump nervously escape the Oval Office without signing executive order
Donald Trump summoned the press to the Oval Office for a signing ceremony for an executive order.

TRUMP: Thank you, everybody. You’re going to see some very, very strong results, very, very quickly. Thank you very much.
GARRETT: Mr. President, in your tweet, were you trying to tell the Justice Department to grant immunity to Michael Flynn?
