A prosecutor reviewing the case against former Trump adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn uncovered “stunning ... evidence that proves Mr. Flynn’s allegations of having been deliberately set up and framed by corrupt agents at the top of the FBI,” Flynn’s lawyer, Sidney Powell, said in an April 24 court filing.

The evidence was filed with the court, and a redacted copy was provided to the defense on April 24 under a protective order and is thus inaccessible to the public. Within hours, Powell submitted a filing requesting that the court unseal the documents and order the government to give them to Flynn unredacted.
