Appeals court orders Flynn case dismissal in split ruling
The U S Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, in a 2 to 1 decision, ordered the dismissal of Michael Flynn's criminal case, rejecting Judge Sullivan's effort to review the Justice Department's decision to drop the prosecution. The ruling, praised by Flynn and the DOJ, ends a potential fight over the basis for dismissal and follows prior Flynn pledging guilty to lying to the FBI during the Mueller investigation. The decision comes as Democrats question DOJ politicization amid Barr's footprint on other Trump-related matters, including a House hearing on Roger Stone's sentence. Barr is set to testify July 28, with Flynn's case dismissal remaining in effect.
