Attorney General William Barr said he still has confidence in FBI Director Christopher Wray, amid fallout from the case against retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.

Flynn, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty in 2017 to one count of lying to the FBI. But in a January filing, Flynn asked the court to let him withdraw his guilty plea, citing the government’s “bad faith, vindictiveness, and breach of the plea agreement.”
