Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, once called by his supervisor “easily the best Intelligence professional of any service,” has asked a federal judge to further delay his sentencing for lying to the FBI.

Flynn had a sentencing hearing on Dec. 18 where U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan agreed with the defense to give Flynn more time to continue in his cooperation with a case in Virginia against two of his former associates, who face charges for concealing that they lobbied in the United States on behalf of Turkey.
