Michael Flynn, former national security adviser, faces jail time due to his failure to accept responsibility and attempts to change his guilty plea. Prosecutors recommend up to six months in jail, citing his efforts to undermine the prosecution of his former business partner. Flynn initially pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators in 2017 but later tried to alter his testimony.
