The federal judge presiding over the case of former Trump adviser Michael Flynn has laid out a schedule that would prolong the case for about two more months and perhaps beyond, even though the Department of Justice (DOJ) dropped the case two weeks ago.
U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan issued a scheduling order on May 19 that set an oral argument for July 16, when third parties invited by the judge would get a chance to voice their opinions on why the case shouldn’t be dismissed and whether Flynn should be made to explain why he shouldn’t be held in contempt of court.
