Flynn’s ex-lawyer takes witness stand for the prosecution

Gen. Michael Flynn’s former lawyer testified Tuesday that Flynn’s business partner was upset by the decision to submit a foreign-agent filing for their Turkey-related work and even began talking about a heart condition when told of the plan to make the disclosure.

The Covington & Burling lobbying and election law expert also said he remembered a “late-night” phone call where Rafiekian indicated some aspect of the planned Foreign Agent Registration Act was affecting his health.By signing up you agree to receive email newsletters or alerts from POLITICO.

Flynn pleaded guilty to a single count of making false statements to the FBI during his brief tenure as President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, but also conceded that he made false statements and omissions in the belated foreign-agent filing. Kelner never quite said he didn’t believe Kian, but did say his colleagues couldn’t find any indication that the money reflected services that were never provided. “We spent a lot of time trying to figure out what the payments were,” the Covington lawyer said. “We did not believe there was any evidence to support the proposition that these payments were refunds.”

“I would say that he is someone who was very accomplished in life and very wise and I’d say very smart in the field he worked in,” Kelner said, referring to Flynn’s intelligence career and eventual role as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Flynn dropped Kelner and Covington last month, switching to a new legal team headed by Sidney Powell, a Texas lawyer who has been a frequent critic of Mueller’s team.

San Francisco approves salary tax for CEOs making 100x workers' median paySan Francisco, home to tech billionaires and a rising homeless population alike, is taking aim at CEO pay — and other cities could follow. Dems against business. Classic fail by that party. Their state is a disaster because of their policies, lack of support for laws and law enforcement. The way to cap CEO pay is to convince the shareholders that overpaying the CEO diminishes their return on investment. Trying to do it with fiscal policy at a city level is futile. Can they help these homeless help themselves by sharing their knowledge and employing them?
