Lash, charged with inflating pay via false declarations and stealing public funds, has reached an interim plea agreement with federal prosecutors because the case involves substantial classified material. Prosecutors and Lash’s lawyers filed a joint court document on the 10th but did not disclose the agreement’s terms. A federal judge on the 11th extended the deadline to formally indict Lash to Oct. 8 to give parties time to finalize a deal; both sides said a public trial would be highly complex given the classified evidence.
