Michael Flynn's former business partner Bijan Kian found guilty on lobbying charges

The jury's verdict, which came after it deliberated for five hours, is a significant win in the Justice Department's attempts to crack down on illegal foreign lobbying following the Mueller investigation, even after after the star witness, former Trump national security adviser Flynn, was not called to testify. As Federal Judge Anthony Trenga read out the verdict, Kian's wife sat in a seat behind the defense with her hand covering her mouth as Kian stood and faced the jury.

'"The trialProsecutors spent had spent three days calling 15 witnesses to testify and showing the jury emails, business proposals and Skype messages between Kian, Alptekin and others. "This isn't some regulatory violation," Assistant U.S. Attorney James Gillis said during closing arguments Monday."This is about the Turkish government trying to influence our political system.
