The DOJ last month abruptly dropped its prosecution of Flynn, who had repeatedly pleaded guilty in court to lying to the FBI about his conversations with former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the weeks prior to Trump's inauguration.

Rather than immediately grant the request, Sullivan has appointed retired Judge John Gleeson to make legal arguments on why the case should not be dismissed, and to analyze whether he should hold Flynn in criminal contempt for perjury for pleading guilty to a charge of which he now claims he is innocent.
