John Bolton plea deal in classified info case could end federal charges See what the agreement means for his prison risk, fine, and June 26 court date
Former Trump national security advisor John Bolton has agreed to plead guilty in a federal case involving classified information, according to a report from MS NOW. The plea would resolve a single felony count tied to allegations that he kept sensitive material in a private diary.
The report says Bolton could face up to 60 months in prison and a $2.25 million fine under the agreement. A court notice shows his rearraignment is scheduled for June 26 in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland, where he is expected to enter the plea.
Bolton was indicted last year on charges that he transmitted and retained national defense information. The case is part of a broader set of federal actions involving prominent critics of President Donald Trump during his second term.
