Justice Dept., in a change of heart, says it no longer supports a lenient sentence for President Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
. And they say he tried to undermine the prosecution of Bijan Rafiekian, his former partner in a lobbying effort on behalf of the government of Turkey. Flynn at first helped the prosecutors bring the Rafiekian case, Tuesday's court filing said, but added,"He ultimately hindered their prosecution of it" by backing away from statements he initially made to a grand jury.
Flynn himself asked for a delay in his sentencing at a hearing a year ago, to give him more time to cooperate with the government. He no longer deserves any credit for any such cooperation, prosecutors said in their court filing. "Far from accepting the responsibility of his unlawful actions, he has sought to blame almost every other person an entity involved in this case, including his former counsel," they wrote.
