Flynn's Lawyer Spoke to Trump, Denies Alleged 'Corrupt Political Motive'
On Tuesday, the lawyer of Michael Flynn, former national security adviser for the administration of Republican President Donald Trump, told a judge that he personally briefed Trump on Flynn's case over past few weeks.
However, attorneys seeking to dismiss charges against Flynn claim that corruption hasn't played a role in the U.S. Justice Department deciding to drop its charges against Flynn, according to The Washington Post.
Flynn's lawyer, Sidney Powell, admitted briefing Trump while speaking to U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan during a hearing on whether the Justice Department should be allowed to dismiss the prosecution's case against Flynn.
In December 2017, Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about a conversation he had in late 2016 with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Flynn had allegedly urged the Russian government not to retaliate against the U.S. after President Barack Obama imposed sanctions on Russia for interfering in the 2016 presidential elections.
