Barr denied that he asked to drop the charges against Flynn at the request of the president. He pointed to Jeffrey Jensen, the U.S. attorney from the Eastern District of Missouri, as the person who made the recommendation. The reason is that Jensen said that the investigation into Flynn was not legitimate. So far, the judge in the case has not responded to the DOJ’s request.
