Former national security advisor Michael Flynn has been granted permission by the court to travel to South Korea for the upcoming holidays to visit family there, Politico reports.

Flynn and his legal team requested that the court permit his Christmas trip to the Republic of Korea, leaving on December 21 and returning on January 7, where members of his family live, according to a court order. Flynn provided the court with details about his family in South Korea, and noted that he traveled to the country before his court appearance last December before leaving and returning “on approximately the same schedule proposed here.”

The court order notes that “it is beyond dispute that Mr. Flynn poses no risk of flight. He has been effectively on probation for close to two years; he has traveled to Korea and back, and he surrendered his passport upon request.”

It also notes that he “has served his country with the greatest distinction for thirty-three years, including five years in actual combat on missions. He can be counted on to complete his travel plans as detailed above and to return his passport upon his return.”

The government did not oppose Flynn’s request last year, and did not oppose it this year either. The court ordered on Monday that Flynn’s passport be returned to him and that he be allowed to travel to South Korea.
