D.C. Court Of Appeals Takes ‘Extraordinary’ Measure In Flynn Case, Orders Judge To Respond To Dismissal Request

On Thursday, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a federal judge to respond to the petition of President Trump’s former national security adviser to drop the charges against him after the Justice Department submitted a motion to throw out the case in light of newly disclosed evidence.

Earlier this week, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s attorney Sydney Powell “filed an emergency writ of mandamus to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals seeking that the prosecution against Flynn be dismissed as the Justice Department has requested, and for Judge Emmet Sullivan to be taken off the case,” Fox News reported Thursday.
