Flynn Sentencing Unexpectedly Delayed
The sentencing for President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn has been postponed until 2019 after a judge threatened jail time. Josh Gerstein, senior legal affairs contributor for Politico, details Flynn's dramatic day in court, and what it means for the overall Russia investigation.
@joshgerstein: Flynn was never grilled about question: why did he lie to FBI agents? If the situation was so casual, why didn't he just tell the truth to them? It seems strange to reflexively lie about fairly technical matters.
