Michael Flynn fired his lawyers as he awaits sentencing for lying to the FBI about his conversations with a top Russian official

The next joint status report from Flynn’s legal team and the Justice Department is due June 14. In their letter, Kelner and Anthony noted Sullivan has the power to deny their motion to withdraw as lawyers if it would slow trial or harm the integrity of the case but suggested there was no reason for him to do that.

Flynn’s legal team turnover comes as some of his family members have used their Twitter feeds in recent days to air complaints about the federal prosecutors’ decision last week not to comply with a judge’s order to publicly file transcripts of intercepted phone calls Flynn conducted with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition.
