In a wide-ranging NPR interview, William Barr defended the Justice Department amid accusations of political interference, including recently in the case of ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn.

The judges rule that a lower court must dismiss the prosecution following requests both from Flynn and the Justice Department, which dropped its charges.

Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., the committee's chairman, said the White House appeared "to have disregarded established procedures for safeguarding classified information" — and he wants to know more.

Prosecutors said Flynn's cooperation since his guilty plea has been so valuable that a judge should be lenient at sentencing, but the full details still aren't public in a heavily redacted document.

President Trump's former national security adviser had declined to cooperate, invoking his right to avoid self-incrimination. A source close to Flynn says he will provide some business records.

Lawyers for the former national security adviser cited "public frenzy" against him. Meanwhile, another congressional committee says Michael Flynn may have lied to security clearance investigators.

Ex-Obama officials say their former boss raised red flags about the man who became Trump's national security adviser in a November Oval Office meeting. Trump ignored them; Flynn resigned in February.

When Russia tried to influence the U.S. presidential election, who knew it was happening? Who helped, and who was exploited? And in the months since, who leaked classified intel, and why?

The heads of the House Oversight Committee described "troubling" classified documents about former national security adviser Michael Flynn, and said the White House is refusing to release some data.

Senate and House panels are investigating Russian interference in the 2016 elections, and Flynn's lawyer says his client "certainly has a story to tell" in a "politicized witch hunt environment."
