Full DC appeals court agrees to rehear Michael Flynn case

An appeals court has agreed to take up the case against retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, which the Justice Department is attempting to dismiss.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued an order on Thursday that states that oral arguments for the en banc review by the full appeals court are scheduled for Aug. 11, after a three-judge appeals court panel agreed with the Trump administration and Flynn’s legal team, ordering the district court to allow DOJ lawyers to drop the charges. The order vacates the one dealt by the smaller panel last month.
