Update (12:50 pm ET): After what was by all accounts a contentious hearing, the sentencing has been postponed to give Flynn more time to cooperate. After the judge ‘hinted’ that prosecutors might have considered charging Flynn with treason, Flynn agreed to take more time to offer more ‘cooperation’ with authorities.
Sullivan apparently regrets suggesting that Flynn committed treason, telling Flynn and his lawyers not to “read too much” into his questions.
“I was just trying to determine the benefit and the generosity of the government,” Sullivan said. “Don’t read too much into the questions I ask.” Prosecutor Brandon Van Grack said Mueller’s team has “no concern” or no reason to think Flynn committed treason.
