A federal judge on Thursday once again pushed back the sentencing date for President Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn after his legal team moved to withdraw his guilty plea for lying to the FBI in the Russia probe.
Flynn originally was scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 28 in a D.C. federal court, but Judge Emmet Sullivan bumped the date back to Feb. 27 after the latest development. If Sullivan ultimately allows Flynn to withdraw his guilty plea, the sentencing likely would be abandoned and the case could head to trial.
