Mueller seeks to push back Flynn sentencing again
08/21/2018
Special counsel Robert Mueller on Tuesday sought to postpone a sentencing hearing for President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn.
“Due to the status of the investigation, the Special Counsel’s Office does not believe that this matter is ready to be scheduled for a sentencing hearing at this time,” Mueller’s team wrote in a joint court filing with Flynn’s defense team.
The court asked for an update on a sentencing timeline for Flynn by Aug. 24, but the parties asked for that date to be pushed back to Sept. 17. Mueller’s team previously asked for a delay in sentencing at the end of June.
Flynn served as the president’s first national security adviser until February 2017 when he was fired for allegedly lying to the vice president about his contacts with Russian officials. He pleaded guilty in December to lying to investigators, and has been cooperating with Mueller’s election interference probe since.
