Other Democrats in Congress applauded Flynn's resignation and vowed to press the issue.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who earlier called for an investigation on Flynn's ties with Russia, said the resignation \"isn't the end of the story.\"

Removing 1 rotten plank doesn't fix a compromised platform.We need to know if @realDonaldTrump's loyalties are w/ us or Russia #FlynnResigns

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, said he wanted to know more about Trump's knowledge of the situation.

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton replied to a tweet about the resignation on Tuesday, saying the user had \"a point about the real consequences of fake news.\"

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., was one of just a few Republicans to speak out after Flynn's resignation. Nunes, who has called Flynn a \"good friend,\" thanked him \"for his many years of distinguished service.\"

\"Washington, D.C., can be a rough town for honorable people, and Flynn — who has always been a soldier, not a politician — deserves America's gratitude and respect for dedicating so much of his life to strengthening our national security,\" Nunes said.
