Michael Flynn won’t testify against former business partner, will be designated co-conspirator

The Hill logoFederal prosecutors will not call President Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn to testify at the upcoming trial of his former business partner Bijan Kian and plan to list him as an unindicted co-conspirator in the case, according to a court order issued Tuesday.

The order from U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga in the Eastern District of Virginia cites a July 3 notice filed under seal by the government “stating that the government will not be calling Michael T. Flynn as a witness in its case-in-chief.”

A separate court filing made by Kian’s attorneys that was unsealed Tuesday indicates that the government is no longer entirely confident in Flynn as a witness.
