Judge withdraws demand that DOJ publicly release Flynn-Kislyak transcript

U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan on Tuesday withdrew his request that the Justice Department publicly release transcripts between Michael Flynn and former Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak, reports AP.

What he's saying: In a brief, Sullivan said, “upon consideration of the government’s submissions in response to those orders, the government is not required to file any additional materials or information on the public docket.” He didn't give any further justification for his reversal.
