According Fox News Report

Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor and a vocal critic of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s to represent Michael Flynn in the criminal case against him.

Flynn mysteriously fired his other attorneys last week and hired Sidney Powell to join his team as a defense attorney.

Powell’s hiring was first revealed by reporter Sara Carter.

Flynn pleaded guilty to providing false statements to the FBI during a January 2017 interview, as part of a deal to cooperate with Mueller’s team and federal prosecutors.

The changes to his legal team erupted speculation that Flynn is preparing for a battle ahead of his forthcoming sentencing and perhaps may wish to change his plea. But Powell said Flynn still plans to work with prosecutors.

“He is continuing to cooperate with the government, and we will stay on that course,” Powell said.

Powell has repeatedly criticized Andrew Weissmann, a top lawyer involved in the prosecution of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. In a 2017 piece, Powell wrote: “Judging by Mueller’s staffing choices, he may not be very interested in justice.”
