WASHINGTON ¨C U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, appeared in court on Monday for the first time since hiring a new lawyer who has criticized special counsel Robert Mueller¡¯s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The lawyer, Sidney Powell, told U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan that the evidence in the case has ¡°more moving pieces ... than an old-fashioned Swiss watch.¡± Powell, who took over Flynn¡¯s case earlier this month after he fired his previous lawyers, said she may need to seek a security clearance to review classified information to help Flynn prepare for his sentencing for lying to investigators.
Powell frequently appears on Fox News and sells t-shirts saying ¡°Creeps on a Mission¡± featuring images of Mueller, former FBI Director James Comey and other Justice Department officials.
