Michael Flynn's new lawyer has claimed that Flynn was spied on as part of a “set-up” by the FBI.
Former national security adviser Michael Flynn has a new attorney: former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell, one of the earliest and fiercest critics of the Justice Department and the FBI’s investigation into a potential conspiracy between President Trump’s campaign and Russia.
Flynn, who fired Kelner and Anthony last week, awaits sentencing for lying to the FBI about his conversations with former Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak during the transition period. The current federal court docket still doesn’t list a lawyer for Flynn. Story continuesFlynn’s old legal team tried to argue in December that the retired lieutenant general was entrapped by the FBI, and it quickly backfired. They claimed at the time that the FBI agents who interviewed Flynn in January 2017 about his conversations with Kislyak had tricked him by lulling him into a false sense of security and failing to insist that he have a lawyer present for the interview.
