Yes, and he is apparently challenging it on the technical question of whether a particular airline flight was specified for his movement. And he may prevail.
Nevertheless, he cannot revive his old claim that any of his orders were illegal on the grounds of the President’s (in)eligibility, as he will have to waive that point for the charges he’s pleading guilty to.
I suspect that Lakin’s “lawyer” has already gotten a plea bargain in exchange for a guilty plea on both charges from the Army lawyers.
