A federal judge on Feb. 10 indefinitely postponed the date for sentencing President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, as prosecutors asked the court to give them access to communications with his former lawyers.
Judge Emmet Sullivan’s order on Monday to cancel the sentencing hearing—which had been scheduled for Feb. 27—came weeks after Flynn asked the court to allow him to withdraw his guilty plea in former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
