Prosecutors said they're prepared for former national security adviser Michael Flynn to be sentenced in late October or early November
Prosecutors said Friday they're prepared for former national security adviser Michael Flynn to be sentenced in late October or early November, nearly two years after he pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia's ambassador to the United States.
Flynn had long been expected to be a star witness in Kian's trial but after he shuffled his legal team and adopted a more combative posture, the government dropped plans to put him on the stand. Kian was found guilty anyway last month. Sullivan took issue with claims that Flynn had been "entrapped" into lying to FBI agents and noted that Flynn's own sentencing filings didn't address conduct he admitted to but was not included in his guilty plea — that he acted as an unregistered foreign agent for Turkey. After upbraiding him, Sullivan agreed to give Flynn more time to complete his cooperation in the Kian case before rescheduling his sentencing.
Flynn stepped down as Trump's national security adviser in February 2017, just weeks after joining the Trump administration. Trump's request later that month that FBI Director James Comey go easy on Flynn have played a prominent role in questions of whether Trump sought to obstruct justice.
