Lawyers for both special counsel Robert Mueller and President Trump’s former national security adviser want two more months until Michael Flynn is sentenced.
In a court filing in Washington on Tuesday afternoon, Mueller’s office asks for a postponement “due to the status of the special counsel’s investigation.”
Lawyers for Flynn — who pleaded guilty in November to lying to the FBI about conversations with former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in December 2016 — agreed.
“[T]he parties do not believe that this matter is ready to be schedule for a sentencing hearing at this time,” the filing reads.
Flynn is cooperating with Mueller, according to documents released as part of his plea agreement.
The next update would be in two months, or no later than June 29.
