A lawyer for Iranian-American businessman Bijan Kian told a federal court that Kian would never be facing prosecution for an illegal foreign-agent scheme if he was not a business partner of former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn
A lawyer for Iranian-American businessman Bijan Kian told a federal court Friday that Kian would never be facing prosecution for an illegal foreign-agent scheme if he was not a business partner of former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Gillis said Kian’s case was serious because the lobbying he engaged in was secretly undertaken at the direction of “high-level officials” in the Turkish government. The hearing of nearly a half hour on Friday morning yielded further confirmation that Flynn has provided information in connection with a variety of ongoing investigations, but there were few details about those probes. Prosecutors had asked the judge to delay Friday’s hearing to allow those investigations to advance further, but Trenga ordered both sides into court anyway.
