A federal court has postponed the sentencing of the former National Security Adviser to US President Donald Trump.
Judge Emmet Sullivan has made it clear to ex-security adviser Michael Flynn that he may face imprisonment in a continuation of Tuesday’s hearing, US media said. Flynn’s lawyers then accepted the offer to postpone it. Thus, her client could continue to demonstrate his cooperation with the investigators. The court wants to reunite in March.
FBI Special Investigator Robert Mueller had recommended that Flynn not detain him because of the cooperation. Mueller is investigating possible collusion by Russian officials with the Trump camp in the 2016 presidential election campaign. Flynn remained at the hearing in his guilty admission that he lied to the FBI federal police in their Russia investigation. He had previously acknowledged that he had misrepresented to the judicial authorities a project in which he had acted on behalf of the Turkish Government prior to his appointment as security adviser.
