Lawyers for Special Counsel Robert Mueller and President Trump's former national security advisor Michael Flynn have asked a judge for an extension on sentencing. Flynn pleaded guilty in December to lying to the FBI about his conversations with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and is cooperating with prosecutors.
A court filing obtained by Law.com explains that the status of the special counsel investigation renders a sentencing at the current time impossible, and asks for a 90-day extension.
Mueller's team asking for more time with Flynn comes exactly two weeks after prosecutors and defense lawyers delayed a status check-in with Trump campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and also is cooperating with the special counsel.
