One of the last cases investigated by former special counsel Robert Mueller appeared to be on the brink of getting thrown out by a federal judge on July 18. Ultimately, District Judge Anthony Trenga allowed the case to continue-albeit with reservations-saying the main charge of conspiracy rested on "very circumstantial" and "speculative" evidence.
The case alleges that Bijan Rafiekian, former partner in Gen. Michael Flynn's lobbying firm, and Ekim Alptekin, a Turkish businessman, conspired to lobby in the United States on behalf of Turkey without disclosing it to the U.S. government.
