A federal judge postponed retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn’s sentencing until next month—after the release of the Department of Justice’s Inspector General’s report on alleged government surveillance abuses against President Donald Trump’s campaign.

Lawyers for Flynn and the Department of Justice had written to Judge Emmet Sullivan in a Tuesday court filing to postpone the sentencing as the pending report “will examine several topics related” to a motion (pdf) filed by Flynn’s lawyers.
