Lindsay Clancy, the judge presiding over the high‑profile trial of former Trump campaign aide Michael Flynn, has announced that she will declare a mistrial after the jury’s inability to reach a verdict. In a surprising move, she has also granted Flynn’s counsel a brief “Hail Mary” appeal, allowing the case to be reviewed by a higher court while the mistrial is being processed. The decision comes amid mounting pressure from both sides, with prosecutors eager to secure a conviction and defense attorneys hoping to salvage a favorable outcome. The outcome of the appeal could determine whether the case is retried or dismissed, adding another twist to the legal saga surrounding former President Trump’s inner circle.
