Former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn is due to be sentenced next month. But attorneys for Flynn and the DOJ asked to postpone until after the release of the inspector general's Russia report.
Attorneys for the Justice Department and Michael Flynn asked a federal judge Tuesday to postpone next month’s sentencing for the former Trump national security adviser until after the release of a much-anticipated inspector general report about the FBI’s Russia investigation.
Flynn is on track to be sentenced Dec. 18 after pleading guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia’s ambassador to the United States, though the retired Army general has also hired new lawyers who want the entire case dismissed because of what they say is “egregious government misconduct.”District Judge Emmet Sullivan hasn’t indicated how he will handle Flynn’s shift in defense strategies.
from federal prosecutors and Flynn's attorneys to reshuffle his sentencing schedule in part because of a Justice Department inspector general report that’s slated for release Dec. 9.That inspector general report is expected to criticize Justice Department leaders and low-level FBI officials who worked on the Russia probe that ultimately gave way to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, according to several media reports.
Tuesday’s request from the DOJ and Flynn attorneys cites media reports about the timing of the IG report’s release while asking Sullivan for a delay to several fast-approaching deadlines tied to the sentencing, including a DOJ supplemental memo that’s due Monday and one from Flynn with a Dec. 10 deadline.
