Appeals court revives Michael Flynn case for another round of arguments about DOJ versus judge's power
A federal appeals court in Washington, DC, agreed to rehear arguments about the judicial branch's ability to question the Justice Department's decision to drop the prosecution of Michael Flynn, keeping the the controversial case against the former national security adviser alive.
The DC Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday said it would throw out a previous ruling to dismiss Flynn's criminal charge and hear more arguments about a lower court judge's attempt to probe the Justice Department's move to dismiss the case in May.
Thursday's decision adds another round to what's become an unusual and deeply political case, one of the most symbolic prosecutions of a Trump adviser. In recent months, Flynn's case has become a conduit for President Donald Trump and his supporters' criticism of the Russia investigation and for many in the legal industry to question the motives of Attorney General William Barr.
