D.C. Circuit Court Denies Flynn’s Appeal to Drop Case

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday denied former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s request to immediately drop his case.

The Justice Department in April moved to drop its case against Flynn for allegedly lying to FBI agents as part of the Russia investigation. However, Judge Emmet Sullivan of the D.C. District Court has refused to dismiss Flynn’s case entirely, and requested that the Appeals court hear the case a second time with all judges present.
