WASHINGTON – A federal appeals court appears skeptical of arguments that it should order the dismissal of the criminal case against former Trump administration national security adviser Michael Flynn despite a Justice Department request to abandon the prosecution.Two of the three judges on the panel signaled during arguments Friday that they were inclined to remain out of the fray and to instead permit U.S.
District Judge Emmet Sullivan to evaluate on his own the department's unusual dismissal request. The pointed questioning suggested that the tussle over Flynn's fate is likely to continue until at least next month, when Sullivan has scheduled arguments in the case.“There’s nothing wrong with him holding a hearing as far as I know.
