JUST IN: Prosecutors say Joseph Mifsud's phones are "not favorable" to FLYNN or relevant to his case.

MORE FLYNN NEWS: In another filing, prosecutors say every charge leveled by Flynn's attorneys in a recent brief are "unsupported by fact or law." And they go further to say the filing itself is flawed because you're not allowed to raise novel issues in a reply brief. pic.twitter.com/QUPirTsQTV

Prosecutors also note that the recent filing is the first claim by Flynn that he's innocent, despite pleading guilty before two judges.

And lastly, prosecutors say they were prepared to file a detailed rebuttal of Flynn's new claims before Sulilvan decided he has all the info he needs to rule. They want to make sure he plans to dismiss the new allegations, or offer prosecutors a chance to respond before he rules.
