Federal judge unseals new set of documents provided to lawyers for fmr. Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who is seeking to withdraw his guilty plea, that could provide them with new ammunition for attacking the FBI's handling of the case.
Flynn was fired after the White House concluded that he misled Vice President Mike Pence and other officials about his conversations with the Russian ambassador.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan of Washington, D.C., has delayed Flynn's sentencing while waiting for the original defense team to finish turning over all of its case files, but he has given no indication of how he would rule on the motion to withdraw the guilty plea. Much of the note unsealed Wednesday is a straightforward summary of the FBI's approach to Flynn's Jan. 24, 2017, interview with the FBI at the White House. Among the items:"Our goal is to resolve case" and"Our goal is to determine if Mike Flynn is going to tell the truth @ his relationship w/Russians."
The note also said,"If we're seen as playing games, WH will be furious," using the common abbreviation for White House, and"Protect our institution for not playing games." Flynn's newly appointed lawyers have repeatedly argued that the FBI committed misconduct in its handling of the investigation. One of them, Sidney Powell, said in a court filing last week that Flynn"was deliberately set up and framed by corrupt agents at the top of the FBI.
