A federal judge said Friday he’s committed to launching a trial in July for one of the cases springing from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation: the prosecution of Bijan Kian
Flynn’s sentencing in the other case has been postponed to allow him to testify at Kian’s trial, where he is expected to be the government’s star witness.
“This has been a very complicated discovery case — one of the most difficult I’ve experienced,” prosecutor James Gillis told Trenga. He said producing the records to the defense — including statements Flynn made to investigators handling a wide variety of probes — has required consultation with “seven different agencies outside the Department of Justice, including parts of the United States intelligence community.
Kian lawyer Mark MacDougall said that was acceptable to the defense, but that Kian’s team opposes an order precluding them from being used at trial, in part because Covington lawyers who worked on a Foreign Agents Registration Act filing Flynn’s firm submitted in March 2017 are going to be called to testify in Kian’s case.
