Sentencing of ex-Trump aide Michael Flynn postponed
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump’s former national security chief Michael Flynn receives a postponement of his sentencing after an angry judge threatens to give him a stiff sentence.
Russia collusion investigation head Robert Mueller had proposed Flynn receive no jail time for lying to investigators about his Moscow ties.
But Judge Emmet Sullivan says Flynn has behaved in a “traitorous” manner and gives the former three-star general the option of receiving a potentially tough prison sentence now — or wait until Mueller’s investigation is closer to being completed to better demonstrate his cooperation with investigators.
