Potential new documents could be latest twist in three-year case.
The move comes less than a week after federal prosecutors recommended a sentencing of up to six months in prison for President Donald Trump's former national security adviser.Lawyers for retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said they were given “stunning” evidence from a Justice Department review of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s handling of the onetime Trump adviser’s case, but it may not be the total exoneration some anticipate, according to sources familiar with the case.
"We look forward to the current production being unsealed and more documents produced -- hopefully today,” Flynn attorney Sidney Powell told ABC News Monday. “Our supplement filed Friday reiterates the relief we seek in the interest of justice and as a matter of law.” “Isn’t it funny that this is Purgatory Road?” he chuckled to his wife Lori, referring to a roadway near the Middletown beach.
Sources with knowledge of the sealed evidence as well as the Flynn ally told ABC News on Monday they expect the files, if revealed publicly, to show that the FBI failed to turn over some records under what's known as the Brady Rule. That requirement is for all potentially exculpatory evidence in the hands of the prosecutors to be turned over to a defendant.
FBI and Justice Department spokespersons last week denied on the record that FBI Director Christopher Wray or other senior Bureau officials have withheld anything at all.
