WASHINGTON – Lawyers for President Donald Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, released internal FBI emails and notes that they hope will bolster their allegations that Flynn was entrapped when he was questioned at the White House three years ago.
The documents were made public Wednesday evening as Flynn seeks to withdraw his guilty plea and makes broad assertions of law enforcement misconduct.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan has rejected many of the defense arguments but has yet to rule on whether Flynn can take back his guilty plea to lying to the FBI.
Meanwhile, a federal prosecutor from Missouri is reviewing the Justice Department's handling of the case at the direction of Attorney General William Barr.
