US appeals court skeptical of bid by ex-Trump adviser to end criminal case
[YNet] - A U.S. appeals court on Friday appeared skeptical of the Justice Department's unprecedented effort to drop a criminal case against President Donald Trump's former adviser Michael Flynn, signaling no quick end to the politically charged prosecution.U.S. Circuit Judge Karen Henderson, an appointee of President George H.W. Bush, said the lower-court judge overseeing the case was not a "rubber stamp" and there was nothing wrong with U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan hearing arguments about whether to let the Justice Department drop the case. Flynn twice pleaded guilty to the charge the Justice Department is now trying to drop. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2020-06-12 |
