Justice Department Drops Case Against Flynn's Ex-Partner Rafiekian
- Rafiekian was accused with Flynn of illegally lobbying for Turkey without registering as foreign agents.
- Rafiekian was initially convicted but the verdict was later overturned due to insufficient evidence.
- Prosecutors decided not to pursue the case further, deeming it not in the public interest.
- The case against Rafiekian was a spinoff of the Mueller investigation into Russian election interference.
- Dropping the case marks the conclusion of years of litigation related to Flynn's consulting firm and the 2016 election.
