According to Zeke Miller with Time Magazine, the White House press secretary just said that Trump is now evaluating the Flynn situation:

.@POTUS on whether he stands by Flynn "Just put out a statement" (see @PressSec stmt in preceding tweet)

I guess that means that Trump will be weighing in on this soon, probably to put it behind him once and for all.
As I understand it now, nobody in the public really knows what was said exactly between Flynn and the Russian ambassador. And we probably won’t know the details.
What we do know is sanctions came up in the conversation and according to new reporting, it was just general discussions about it.
