Mike Flynn’s Fired Lawyers, Accused of ‘Conflicts Of Interest,’ To Now Reappear In His Case

After they advised him to plead guilty to lying to the FBI, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former national security adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, fired his attorneys from Covington & Burling LLP and hired conservative lawyer Sidney Powell, who has since accused his client’s former lawyers of “ineffective assistance” and “conflicts of interest.”

Now, with the Justice Department ordering that Flynn’s case be thrown out amid new evidence that FBI agents withhold key information and ensnared him in a “perjury trap,” Flynn’s fired lawyers have been asked, and agreed, to reappear before the court as an “interested party.”
