A federal judge on Monday unambiguously rejected Michael Flynn’s claims that the former national security adviser was tricked into pleading guilty, and set a Jan. 28 sentencing in the long-delayed case.from U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan is a complete strikeout for Flynn’s new legal team, which had demanded access to nearly 50 categories of information they contended could exonerate the former Defense Intelligence Agency chief.
Flynn faces a maximum possible sentence of 5 years in prison, but white-collar defendants typically get sentences well short of the maximum. At a hearing in December 2017, Flynn admitted that he lied to the FBI at the January interview by denying any substantive discussions with the Russian ambassador and by understating his contacts with foreign governments about a then-pending United Nations resolution on Israel.
Sullivan said comments by Flynn and Kelner at those hearings undercut Flynn’s new claims that he was railroaded.
