Former national security adviser Michael Flynn was met with rivaling chants of “USA” and “lock him up” as he left a federal court in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday after a judge delayed his sentencing for lying to FBI agents.
Some people outside the courthouse shouted “lock him up” repeatedly while others chanted “USA” as Flynn was led to a car, according to video posted online.
