Michael Flynn moves to withdraw guilty plea, citing ‘bad faith’ by government
Federal prosecutors now say Michael Flynn deserves prison time
The Department of Justice says former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn should get up to 6 months in prison for lying to federal investigators, a reversal of their earlier opposition to jail time.
Former national security adviser Michael Flynn moved Tuesday to withdraw his guilty plea for lying to the FBI in the Russia probe, citing “bad faith” by the government.
The court filing came just days after the Justice Department reversed course to recommend up to six months of prison time in his case, alleging he was not fully cooperating or accepting responsibility for his actions.
But, in Tuesday’s court filing, his legal team said he moved to withdraw his plea “because of the government’s bad faith, vindictiveness and breach of the plea agreement.”
