A DC federal judge has ordered Michael Flynn's former attorneys to appear in court next month after Flynn's current legal counsel claims they haven't been given the entire case file by the team at Covington & Burling.
In a filing on Thursday, Flynn's new attorneys Jesse Binnall, Sidney Powell and William Hodes wrote that they "Do not yet have the entire file" from Flynn's former lawyers and said they had been advised "It will be several weeks before all the information can be transferred."
Flynn's former attorneys have responded, saying they will have the rest of the case files delivered by July 26, per Politico.
Flynn's former attorney testified on Tuesday against Flynn's former business partner, 67-year-old Bijan Rafiekian, an Iranian-American who has been charged with illegally acting as an unregistered agen of a foreign government.
During about two-and-a-half hours on the witness stand in federal court in Alexandria, Va., Kelner appeared to do some damage to Rafiekian by telling jurors that the Flynn associate never shared key information about links between the lobbying work and Turkish government officials.
Attorney Robert Barnes raises the question: "Why was Covington firm ever representing Flynn given it knew it might be a material witness in a case related to Flynn? Did the government knowingly profit from this conflict?".
