In Washington, D.C., a federal judge has delayed sentencing for Michael Flynn, President Trump’s former national security adviser, after expressing disgust that Flynn lied to federal investigators. Flynn has acknowledged he lied about his meeting with Russia’s ambassador during the 2016 presidential campaign—and admitted that he worked as an unregistered foreign agent for Turkey’s government. In an extraordinary 2-hour hearing, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan on Tuesday blasted Flynn for his conduct, pointing to an American flag inside the courtroom as he said, “Arguably, you sold your country out.” Judge Sullivan offered to hold off on sentencing Flynn if he agreed to continue to aid federal prosecutors with special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe and other criminal investigations. Flynn agreed to the deal, delaying any sentencing until at least March. The court seized Flynn’s passport and ordered him to remain within 50 miles of Washington, D.C. At the White House, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders deflected questions about Flynn’s court appearance, saying only that the White House is “concerned” that Flynn lied to the FBI.

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders: “Look, there is certainly concern, but that’s something for the court to make that determination, and we’ll let them do that.”
