Michael Flynn, President Trump's former national security adviser, is scheduled to be sentenced today for lying to the FBI.
Special counsel Robert Mueller's office has recommended that Flynn receive no jail time, given that he has accepted responsibility for his actions and cooperated with their investigations.
Flynn has also asked a federal judge to spare him from prison time. Instead, he is asking the judge for probation of less than a year and has offered to do 200 hours of community service.
Some background: Flynn pleaded guilty December 2017 to lying to the FBI about the substance of his calls with former Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak while he worked on the Trump presidential transition.
Flynn initially denied — but eventually admitted — that they had discussed sanctions and a United Nations Security Council resolution during the presidential transition.
The saga — including the fact that he had lied to high-ranking administration officials about his contact with Kislyak — led to his early exit from the White House.
