The federal judge presiding over the case of Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, former adviser to President Donald Trump, has asked the District of Columbia appeals court to reconsider an earlier decision that ordered the judge to accept a motion to dismiss the case filed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) in May.

A lawyer for District Judge Emmet Sullivan asked in a July 9 petition for all 12 judges of the D.C. circuit court to review the order issued last month by a 3-judge panel of the court.
