Michael Flynn asked a federal judge on Jan. 29 to dismiss the case against him, after having telegraphed to the court for months that he was planning to make the move.

Flynn’s lawyers say prosecutors failed to give the retired three-star U.S. Army general a plethora of exculpatory information and the case should thus be dismissed, “for outrageous government misconduct and in the interest of justice.”
