Senate intelligence panel subpoenas Michael Flynn for Russia documents

The Senate intelligence committee has subpoenaed Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn for documents related to the panel's investigation into Russia's election meddling.

Richard Burr, the Republican chairman, and Mark Warner, the Democratic vice chairman, issued a joint statement saying the panel decided to issue the subpoena after Mr Flynn, through his lawyer, declined to co-operate with an April 28 request to turn over the documents.
