The prosecution of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn for lying to federal agents during the Russia investigation was dismissed by a judge after President Donald Trump gave a wide-ranging pardon.

The expected decision Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington puts an end to a case that the Justice Department had been fighting to dismiss for months before the full pardon was issued.
