WASHINGTON - U.S. prosecutors have canceled plans to call President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn as witness in a Virginia trial involving Flynn's former business partner - an abrupt change that raises questions about Flynn's cooperation with the government and its impact on his sentencing.
Flynn was among the first people in Trump's inner circle to be charged by Special Counsel Robert Mueller for lying to investigators about his December 2016 conversations with Sergei Kislyak, Russia's then-ambassador in Washington, about U.S. sanctions imposed on Moscow by President Barack Obama. But Flynn's sentence was delayed after U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan lambasted him at a contentious hearing in December in which the judge accused Flynn of selling out his country.
In a court hearing in Washington, D.C. on June 24, Powell told Sullivan that Flynn was expecting to testify in the Virginia trial and was cooperating with the government.
