US Appeals Court to Rehear Arguments Over Ex-Trump Aide Flynn

   WASHINGTON - A U.S. appeals court on Thursday agreed to rehear
   arguments over whether the judge assigned to the criminal case against
   Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump's former national security
   adviser, must grant a request to dismiss it.
   The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said it
   would hold an oral argument in the politically charged criminal case on
   Aug. 11.
   In a 2-1 decision on June 24, a three-judge panel of the same court
   ruled in favor of Flynn and the Trump administration and said U.S.
   District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington had to grant the Justice
   Department's motion to clear Flynn, who twice pleaded guilty to lying
   to the FBI.
   Sullivan asked the full court to reconsider the three-judge panel's
   ruling, saying the Justice Department's dropping of the Flynn case was
   unprecedented and had to be carefully scrutinized.
