The military determined in 2010 that retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, President-elect Trump’s national security adviser, “inappropriately shared” classified documents with allies during his time in Afghanistan after an investigation was ordered by then-Gen. James Mattis, Trump’s pick for defense secretary.

The Washington Post reported Wednesday that Flynn wasn’t authorized to share the classified material. The investigation determined “there was no actual or potential damage to national security as a result,” Army records reported.
