WASHINGTON - U.S. prosecutors have canceled plans to call President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn as witness in a trial involving Flynn’s former business partner - an abrupt change that raises questions about Flynn’s cooperation with the government and its impact on his sentencing.
Flynn’s cooperation in Rafiekian’s trial in Virginia, which starts this month, could have an impact on how he is sentenced in his own case in a federal court in Washington. As part of that plea agreement, he also admitted to submitting false statements to the government regarding his lobbying work with Rafiekian, also known as Bijan Kian, on behalf of Turkey.
Flynn was due to be sentenced last December, but his sentence was delayed after U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan lambasted him at a contentious hearing in December in which the judge accused Flynn of selling out his country. Flynn has also opposed the government’s decision to designate him as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Virginia trial, saying that contradicts claims the government previously made.
