The busy week lands amid persistent speculation that the special counsel's investigation may be nearing its conclusion.
New developments due this week in a handful of criminal cases connected to special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe could help sketch a more detailed picture of the high-profile, yet highly secretive, investigation.
Since the start of the investigation, Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has decried the probe as a"witch hunt."Manafort, 69, was already sentenced last week to less than four years in prison in a case brought by Mueller's prosecutors in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia. But he will be sentenced by another judge Wednesday in Washington, D.C., district court.
Ellis had previously accused Mueller of levying the finance charges against Manafort in order to pressure him into cooperating with the Russian interference probe. The judge had also taken a hostile tone toward Mueller's team before and during the trial. Gates, 46, has had his sentencing on charges of lying to investigators and conspiracy delayed multiple times since he pleaded guilty in early 2018.
"Arguably, you sold your country out," Sullivan said in the hearing. The judge had suggested that Flynn could get a lighter sentence if the decision was delayed until after he finished cooperating with Mueller. Lawyers for Stone, 66, were ordered by Judge Jackson in D.C. to explain by Monday Stone's efforts to comply with his gag order, as well as shed light on"unexplained inconsistencies" regarding some statements made to the court.
