  • Flynn Case Comes to a Head: Judge Asks Court for More Time; DOJ: You Don’T Have the Authority James Barrett
    Flynn Case Comes To A Head: Judge Asks Court For More Time; DOJ: You Don’t Have The Authority James Barrett Alex Wroblewski/Getty Images The years-long case against former Trump national security adviser retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn continues despite the Department of Justice announcing weeks ago that it wants it thrown it — but the end is near. Keeping the case alive is Federal District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan, who has refused the Justice Department’s request to immediately dismiss the case, instead deciding to first reexamine the case with the help of retired judge John Gleeson. But the standoff between the Justice Department and Sullivan appears to be coming to a head, both filing directly conflicting motions on Monday to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, which has since announced that it will be holding oral arguments next week. On May 21, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals took the “extraordinary” measure of ordering Sullivan to respond by June 1 to Flynn’s petition to drop the charges against him after the Justice Department submitted a motion to throw out the case. The DOJ made the decision after newly disclosed evidence came to light indicating that the FBI set a “perjury trap” for Flynn, as Attorney General William Barr put it, and determining that Flynn’s statement was “immaterial” because the entire case was flawed. Sullivan’s motion, filed Monday by the high-powered attorney Sullivan hired shortly after the court’s order, asked the D.C. Court of Appeals not to force the judge to dismiss the case yet.

Begun in 1998, the White House Transition Project provides information about individual offices for staff coming into the White House to help streamline the process of transition from one administration to the next.

Since its creation, it has participated in the 2001, 2005, 2009, 2013, 2017, and now the 2021. WHTP coordinates with government agencies and other non-profit groups, e.g., the US National Archives or the Partnership for Public Service. It also consults with foreign governments and organizations interested in improving governmental transitions, worldwide. See the project at http://whitehousetransitionproject.org The White House Transition Project produces a number of materials, including: • WHITE HOUSE OFFICE ESSAYS: Based on interviews with key personnel who have borne these unique responsibilities, including former White House Chiefs of Staff; Staff Secretaries; Counsels; Press Secretaries, etc. , WHTP produces briefing books for each of the critical White House offices.
