Flynn lawyers claim DOJ withheld evidence to force guilty plea

Mike Flynn's attorneys said the government is hiding evidence that could help President Trump's former national security adviser.

Sidney Powell, the head of Flynn’s new legal team, claimed in court Tuesday the Justice Department withheld evidence related to Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, James Comey, Flynn’s FBI interview notes, and more.

“There never would’ve been a plea to begin with” if Flynn knew how much information DOJ was hiding, Powell said. Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 for lying to investigators about conversations with the Russian ambassador.

Judge Emmet G. Sullivan, who is presiding over the case, gave Powell an unusual amount of leeway as she argued the government withheld information from her client to pressure him into accepting a guilty plea, which he never would’ve done had he been aware of all the facts. Flynn's sentencing has been delayed for a year as he cooperated with the government.

Ms Powell is correct, and I hope Sullivan agrees.

She  (Powell) is 100% correct and I have no doubt that Judge Sullivan knows it.
