Former Trump Adviser Flynn Asks for Further Sentencing Delay

by Associated Press

   WASHINGTON --

   Lawyers for former Trump administration national security adviser
   Michael Flynn say he doesn't want to be sentenced yet because he has
   more cooperation to offer.
   Flynn is expected to be a witness in a trial later this year in
   Virginia related to foreign lobbying work. He asked Tuesday for a
   sentencing date to be pushed off into the future.
   Flynn was supposed to be sentenced last December for lying to the FBI
   but asked for a postponement so he could continue cooperating and earn
   credit toward a lighter sentence.
   Prosecutors with special counsel Robert Mueller's took no position on
   Flynn's request but said they viewed his cooperation as effectively
   complete.
