to cover up its real spying operations.

In this case Flynn got nervous and ran to his Russian controlling agent, they then discussed that Obama maybe on to them. But since Flynn ran directly to the Russians for help they agree to release a false narrative to the public about what was discussed during their meeting. Hence a "cover story".
