RECKONING - Michael Flynn, the former lieutenant general who briefly served as President Trump’s national security adviser, is set to be sentenced today for lying to federal investigators in their probe of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election. Ellis Kim and C. Ryan Barber report that Judge Emmet Sullivan, a Clinton appointee to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, will impose the sentence. Flynn’s defense attorneys from Covington & Burling and prosecutors working under special counsel Robert Mueller have recommended a sentence without jail time, citing Flynn’s extensive and timely cooperation with the government.
