    Case 1:17-cr-00232-EGS Document 111 Filed 09/11/19 Page 1 of 14 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Plaintiff, v. Criminal Action No. 17-232-EGS MICHAEL T. FLYNN, SEALED Defendant. MOTION TO COMPEL THE PRODUCTION OF BRADY MATERIAL AND FOR AN ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE Michael T. Flynn (“Mr. Flynn”) requests this Court (i) order the prosecutors to show cause why they should not be held in contempt for their repeated refusals to comply with this Court’s Brady order and their constitutional, legal, and ethical obligations; (ii) compel the government to produce to Mr. Flynn evidence relevant and material to his defense as identified in this Motion; (iii) compel the government to produce to the defense any additional information that has come to the attention of the Inspector General, the FBI, or any other member of the Department of Justice that bears on the government’s own conduct or its allegations against Mr. Flynn; and (iv) order the government to preserve all emails, documents, texts and other material relevant to the investigation of Mr. Flynn including by Special Counsel. I. Background As explained more fully in Mr. Flynn’s accompanying brief, Brady v.

    August 30, 2018 VIA ONLINE PORTAL David M. Hardy, Chief Record/Information Dissemination Section Records Management Division Federal Bureau of Investigation 170 Marcel Drive Winchester, VA 22602-4843 Online Request via https://efoia.fbi.gov Re: Freedom of Information Act Request Dear Mr. Hardy: Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, and the implementing regulations of the Department of Justice (DOJ), 28 C.F.R. Part 16, American Oversight makes the following request for records. On August 27, 2018, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) published a report, “Review of GSA’s Revised Plan for the Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Consolidation Project.”1 The report alleges that GSA Administrator Emily Murphy may have misled Congress about the White House’s involvement in the FBI Headquarters Consolidation project. Notably, it highlights that the White House invoked executive privilege to prevent the OIG—a component of GSA, an executive branch agency—from learning statements made by the President in meetings regarding the FBI Headquarters project. In addition, recent press reporting alleges that high-level Trump administration officials played roles in scuttling plans for relocating FBI Headquarters—instead prioritizing the costlier option of building a new headquarters downtown. 2 Given President Trump’s reported interest in the future of the FBI Headquarters and its proximity to Trump International Hotel—a property in which he still maintains a financial interest—it is in the public interest to understand the extent to which Trump’s personal business motivations are dictating matters of national security.
