President Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn is asking a judge to spare him prison time for cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller.
Instead, Flynn is requesting to be sentenced to one year of probation, his attorneys wrote in a memo in advance of his Dec. 18 sentencing date.
“His cooperation was not grudging or delayed,” Flynn’s lawyers wrote, according to The New York Times.
Flynn’s lawyers also cited the Army general’s lengthy military service.
But his lawyers also suggested he was tricked into lying by the FBI, repeating a narrative often used by Trump.
