Skeptical judge could hold up Trump administration's bid to clear Flynn
WASHINGTON, May 7 - The notoriously independent-minded federal judge who once said he was disgusted by the conduct of Michael Flynn could block the administration's bid to drop criminal charges against the former adviser to President Donald Trump, legal experts said.
"If Judge Sullivan wanted to he could conduct an inquiry and start asking a lot of questions," said Waxman. The Justice Department said in a court filing on Thursday it is no longer persuaded that the FBI's January 2017 interview with Flynn that led to the charges was conducted with a"legitimate investigative basis" and does not think Flynn's statements were"material even if untrue."
