ATLANTA — A Florida judge on Tuesday found that former national security adviser Michael Flynn is a material witness and must testify before the Fulton County special purpose grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump and his allies for possible criminal meddling with the 2020 presidential election.
Sarasota County Circuit Judge Charles Roberts made his findings at the close of a 40-minute hearing in which Assistant Fulton District Attorney Will Wooten argued his office’s case remotely.
Flynn is now scheduled to appear before the special grand jury on Nov. 22, although his lawyer, Jason Greaves, said he will ask a Florida appellate court to stay the order to allow Flynn to appeal.
