President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn arrives
for his sentencing at the U.S. District Court in Washington, Tuesday, Dec. 18,
2018.
The former Army general was among the first in the president's orbit to
be charged as part of former special counsel Robert Mueller's
investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. His
sentencing in Washington has been delayed for nearly a year to allow
him to finish his cooperation with prosecutors. Though both parties
agree that that cooperation is over, they have been at a deadlock on
how to proceed.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon Van Grack pushed for a sentencing
date later this year and left open the possibility that prosecutors will
seek prison time. Powell said "there is far more at stake here than
sentencing," alleging that evidence, including memos and portions of
infamous text messages between former FBI officials Peter Strzok and
Lisa Page, have been withheld and would've exonerated Flynn from
allegations that he's a Russian agent.
