"I did not lie to them."
With those words in a declaration and supplemental motion filed Wednesday, former national security adviser Michael Flynn formally asked a federal judge for permission to withdraw his guilty plea for making false statements to two FBI agents in the White House back on Jan. 24, 2017.
The Flynn filing also slammed former FBI Director James Comey's "bragging and laughing on national television about his own cleverness and violations of FBI/DOJ rules in dispatching agents to the White House to interview the President's National Security Advisor." (In 2018, Comey admitted on-air that sending agents to the White House was “something I probably wouldn't have done or maybe gotten away with in a more … organized administration.”)
Flynn's lawyers argued that "because of the government's bad faith, vindictiveness and breach of the plea agreement," Flynn's plea should be withdrawn. That led to Wednesday's supplemental filing -- and, perhaps, new life for Flynn's defense team.
