Is it possible to see the American flag on the moon via telescope?

No, at least not a telescope on Earth or in Earth orbit. Hubble needs objects to be about the size of a football field to be discerned.

Even the previously proposed 100 meter aperture OWL telescope would not have been able to see the flag, though it might have been able to resolve the landers and rovers.
