John Bolton, the former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty on Friday to mishandling classified documents, a significant shift from his previous role as a close ally to Trump to now being a vocal critic. In a federal court, Bolton admitted to unlawfully retaining national defense information, with some of this information reportedly being used in his memoir, "The Room Where It Happened." During the proceedings, he expressed remorse for his actions, stating, "I’m sorry for it."
As part of his plea agreement, Bolton faces a potential prison sentence of up to five years and has been ordered to pay a fine of $2.25 million. The exact terms of his sentencing will be finalized in October, with Bolton having been charged last year with 18 counts related to the unlawful retention of classified materials. His guilty plea marks a notable development in a high-profile investigation into the handling of national defense information by former officials.
