A former Michael Flynn business associate charged with illegally lobbying in the U.S. for the Turkish government asked a federal judge to postpone his Feb. 11 trial so he can review the government’s evidence and gather more for his defense.
A lawyer for Bijan Rafiekian, also known as Bijan Kian, made the request after a prosecutor told U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga he’d handed over terabytes of information prior to the Thursday hearing at the courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia. Some of that evidence is from the office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
