Good morning from inside the media room at the USDC Eastern District of Virginia. Bijan Kian's status conference with Judge Trenga gets underway this morning at 10AM. Story to come @CourthouseNews. Trial set for Feb, so today I'm expecting negotiating around docs/schedule etc.
Friendly reminder for those new to USDC EDVA coverage - while there is a media room, there isn't a closed circuit TV feeding the activity in the courtroom down to reporters. That means I can only update once out of the courtroom. Stay tuned.
Story is online and it will be updated: courthousenews.com/ex-flynn-assoc…

Per @CNN and @LauraAJarrett : "acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker told former Attorney General Ed Meese during a breakfast meeting in Washington on Wednesday that US Attorney John Huber is continuing his investigation into the wide-ranging allegations." #DOJ #Investigation
You can read more here: cnn.it/2F4PGTD. We are finding more confirmations and sources affirming that there is still an active investigation into the actions of the FBI and other agencies+individuals during the 2016 election cycle. It will never be confirmed however....
....until the investigation has concluded and findings are presented to the appropriate agencies and parties involved. #justice #indictments #trials #tribunals #FISAgate #spygate
