Appeals court keeps Flynn case alive, won’t order dismissal

WASHINGTON (AP) A federal appeals court in Washington declined Monday to order the dismissal of the Michael Flynn prosecution, permitting a judge to scrutinize the Justice Department s request to dismiss its case against President Donald Trump s former national security adviser.

The decision keeps the matter at least temporarily alive and rebuffs efforts by both Flynn s lawyers and the Justice Department to force the prosecution to be dropped without any further inquiry from the judge, who has for months declined to dismiss it. The ruling represents the latest development in a criminal case that has taken unusual twists and turns over the last year and prompted a separation of powers clash between a veteran federal judge and the Trump administration.
