Attorney General William Barr’s Justice Department dropped its criminal case against President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

The DOJ filed the request to drop the case with U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington, DC, on Thursday. Flynn, who Trump fired after only weeks on the job, pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents in 2017 and agreed to cooperate in Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

The Justice Department filing cited “newly discovered and disclosed information” as the reasons for dismissing the case.

It seems there’s nothing she can’t do, and Kendall Jenner just snagged a writing gig with the prestigious WSJ Magazine. In the February 2015 issue, the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” cutie discusses the topic of youth as part of the recurring “The Columnists” feature.

In addition to Kendall, other guest columnists include Tim Howard, Goldie Hawn, Dr. Frederic Brandt, Maira Kalman and Jeffrey Jensen Arnett.

Jenner writes, “I feel like I grew up too fast a long time ago. Having older siblings, you grow up around adults, so you mature more quickly. I saw my sisters and parents working every day, so I was pretty much brought up to be a workaholic. But I just turned 19 a couple weeks ago, and I’m scared to be 20—it’s the first step out of being a teenager."

As for where she turns for advice, Kendall shares, "My sister Khloé...

Tim Heidecker Talks The Comedy, in select theaters Friday, November 9th

Look deep into the eyes of Tim Heidecker during certain unhinged moments in this year's earlier release Tim and Eric'$ Billion Dollar Movie, and you will see true demons rising to the surface. He is bitter. Angry. A man fighting against the world. And that's where some of his best comedic moments come from. Taken out of context, its not hard to see a man devoted to the craft of acting. He has a humanistic skill set that escapes even the most gifted of performers. It's a needed tool when delivering something as obscure and twisted as Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! It's a true belief in the material that enables this particular comedian to sell it home.

Now, Tim Heidecker brings those same instincts to The Comedy. Despite its title, the movie only wades through a...

Rick Alverson Talks The Comedy, in select theaters Friday, November 9th

If you are heading into The Comedy expecting a follow-up to Tim and Eric'$ Billion Dollar Movie, you are in for quite a shock. While the film does offer a few early laughs from star Tim Heidecker, the story quickly descends into pitch black territory, and what we're left holding creeps deep into the horror genre. It's a disturbing psychological drama about a man whose life has no real meaning, as he sits and very impatiently awaits his father's death so that he can live out the rest of his life with little to no responsibilities.

The Comedy is also a time capsule of our current trendier than thou hipster culture, and it dissects that well-worn disenfranchised soul with an X-acto knife. It's an important look at the disintegration of the human spirit, while also being about hope and forgiveness.

Tribeca Film has released the first trailer and poster for The Comedy, director Rick Alverson's character study starring Tim Heidecker. The story centers on Swanson (Tim Heidecker), a man who begins to test society's behavioral constraints just before he inherits his father's estate. Take a look at the one-sheet and the first video, also featuring Eric Wareheim and Neil Hamburger.

The Comedy - Trailer 2

On the cusp of inheriting his father's estate, Swanson (Tim Heidecker, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!) is a man with unlimited options. An aging hipster in Brooklyn, he spends his days in aimless recreation with like-minded friends (Tim and Eric co-star Eric Wareheim, LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy and comedian Gregg Turkington a.k.a. Neil Hamburger) in games of comic irreverence and mock sincerity. As Swanson grows restless of the safety a sheltered life offers him, he tests the limits of acceptable behavior,...
