Judge sets Flynn sentencing after rejecting claims of DOJ misconduct
By Harper Neidig - 12/16/19 03:29 PM EST

A federal judge on Monday rejected former national security adviser Michael Flynn's allegation that prosecutors improperly withheld key evidence from his defense team prior to him entering a plea agreement over charges of lying to federal law enforcement.

Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled that Flynn had failed to prove that any of the material that the government did not give to his lawyers would have affected his decision to plead guilty. The judge went on to schedule Flynn's long-delayed sentencing for Jan. 28.

"The sworn statements of Mr. Flynn and his former counsel belie his new claims of innocence and his new assertions that he was pressured into pleading guilty to making materially false statements to the FBI," wrote Sullivan, who was appointed by former President Clinton.
