FBI/MICHAEL FLYNN/ROBERT MUELLER/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP PEOPLE: “U.S. President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, will be sentenced on Dec. 18, according to a court filing on Wednesday. Flynn pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia, in exchange for cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. A joint filing at U.S. District Court in Washington on Monday [9-17-18] by Flynn’s lawyers and prosecutors had said Flynn could be sentenced as soon as Nov. 28. Prosecutors have repeatedly deferred Flynn’s sentencing date since his guilty plea, even though Flynn’s lawyer Robert Kelner said at a July hearing his client was eager to get the sentencing date on the calendar and put the ordeal behind him. A sentencing date signals that Flynn’s ongoing cooperation with Mueller’s office is coming to an end.”
