Former national security advisor Michael Flynn appeared in federal court today for a status conference in his criminal case. His new lawyer, Sidney Powell, said Flynn is still expected to testify in Bijan Kian’s trial in EDVA and that his cooperation is “fully ongoing.”
Powell raised the possibility of needing a security clearance and said she may need to review classified information. But prosecutors say they did not turn over any classified info as part of discovery. Prosecutors & the judge seemed confused about what the info might be.
The judge ultimately decided that the defense team, prosecutors and the court’s classified information security officer should be in touch and figure out if the judge needs to step in.
Flynn’s lawyers asked for his travel restrictions to be lightened (and let him travel to NC/Texas/Calif. freely) but the judge denied it. He said he didn’t want to give Flynn preferential treatment. The judge ordered a status report in Flynn’s case for the last day in August.
