WASHINGTON — Former Trump administration national security adviser Michael Flynn is due back in court for the first time in weeks as his lawyers mount an aggressive attack on special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
Flynn was supposed to be sentenced last December for lying to the FBI about his December 2016 conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States. But the sentencing hearing was abruptly cut short after Flynn, facing a sharp rebuke from Sullivan that raised the prospect he could be sent to prison, asked that he be allowed to continue cooperating with prosecutors in hopes of earning credit toward a lighter punishment.
In a court filing, Powell accused Justice Department prosecutors of withholding evidence that she says would be favorable to the defense. Prosecutors have strongly rejected that assertion, saying"the government has exceeded its discovery and disclosure obligations in this matter," including by providing Flynn with more than 22,000 pages of documents.
