THE LEAD STORY – FLYNN TO LEARN HIS FATE: Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday for pleading guilty to lying to FBI officials in the Russia investigation as outrage over alleged wrongdoing in his questioning by FBI and Justice Department investigators continues to grow ... Flynn's attorneys have claimed in recent days that he was pressured into talking to FBI investigators without having a lawyer present. That led to U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ordering Special Counsel Robert Mueller to turn over all of the government's documents and "memoranda" related to Flynn's questioning. On Monday, Mueller released Flynn's responses in that fateful Jan. 24, 2017 interview in a heavily-redacted witness report.
Some experts and lawmakers have predicted Flynn's guilty plea will be tossed altogether. Mueller has recommended a lenient sentence for Flynn due to his cooperation in multiple investigations. - Reported by Gregg Re (@gregg_re on Twitter)
