Actually, in a case like this, 'he' refers to the topic of the sentence. Since the sentence is about Flynn's excuse to not meet Trump, Flynn is the topic. I do agree that it is somewhat ambiguous, but that is the English language.
The world does not revolve around Trump.

Then you should start learning another language, because English sentences being ambiguous is very much the norm.

The thing is you're wrong. It's perfectly correct and comprehensible. Hence pain in the ass.
