The court process for Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a former Trump adviser, will likely carry on beyond Election Day after a court order indicated that a schedule for a further process won’t be set for at least another three weeks.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) dropped the case nearly four months ago, but District Judge Emmet Sullivan, who’s presiding over it, has refused to accept the dismissal and has insisted on further proceedings.
