Flynn lawyers claim client was 'set up' as FBI denies reports of exculpatory evidence cover-up

The legal team for retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn claimed newly released evidence showed the former Trump national security adviser was “set up” by the FBI, while the bureau denied reports by multiple outlets that its leadership purposely concealed exculpatory evidence.

Sidney Powell, Flynn’s lead attorney who took over last year after he dropped the high-profile white collar firm Covington & Burling in the spin-off case from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, said the new information provided by the Justice Department on Friday, which related to her clients prior representation of more than two years, was damning.

“This afternoon, the government produced to Mr. Flynn stunning Brady evidence that proves Mr. Flynn’s allegations of having been deliberately set up and framed by corrupt agents at the top of the FBI,” Powell’s Friday evening legal filing said. “It also defeats any argument that the interview of Mr. Flynn on January 24, 2017 was material to any ‘investigation.’ The government has deliberately suppressed this evidence from the inception of this prosecution — knowing there was no crime by Mr. Flynn.”

Flynn, 61, is fighting to dismiss the government's case against him. He pleaded guilty in December 2017 for lying to investigators about his conversations with Russian diplomat Sergey Kislyak on sanctions on Russia and a United Nations resolution on Israel, but in January he told the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., that he was "innocent of this crime." He filed to withdraw his guilty plea after the Justice Department asked the judge to sentence Flynn up to six months in prison, though afterward the department said probation would also be appropriate. Powell is pressing for the dismissal of his case by arguing the FBI unfairly treated Flynn.
