Federal prosecutors softened their position in a new sentencing recommendation for former national security adviser Michael Flynn, now suggesting that probation could be an 'appropriate' sentence.
Flynn and his attorney, conservative lawyer and frequent Fox News commentator Sidney Powell, have accused the Justice Department and the FBI of conspiring to frame the former combat veteran.
On Wednesday, prosecutors stood by their suggested sentencing range of zero to six months, but added that the range should include “a sentence of probation.” The first sentencing was postponed after a contentious hearing in which U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan questioned why Flynn's case would be wrapped up when the government still needed his cooperation in a separate case involving a former business partner.
