In a dramatic court hearing on Tuesday, a federal judge delayed the sentencing of Michael Flynn, Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, so he could continue cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

The retired lieutenant general, who was fired from his position as the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency during the Obama administration, was a top Trump surrogate during the 2016 campaign, famously leading a chant of “Lock her up!” at the Republican National Convention. Shortly after his victory, Trump tapped Flynn as his national security adviser. But as the FBI ramped up its investigation into Russian election interference, Flynn’s contacts with then-Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak quickly came under scrutiny. Interviewed by FBI agents four days after Trump’s inauguration, Flynn lied about his communications with Kislyak. He was forced out of the administration after just 24 days on the job.

In December 2017, Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and acknowledged acting as an unregistered lobbyist for Turkey. Flynn was supposed to be sentenced Tuesday. But the judge, Emmet Sullivan, criticized his behavior harshly and grilled him about whether he accepted full responsibility for his crime, raising the prospect that Flynn could get prison time even though prosecutors had recommended that he not be locked up. After Sullivan asked prosecutors whether Flynn could continue to be helpful, Flynn opted for the sentencing to be delayed until his cooperation is complete.
