Bolton Pleads Guilty to Classified Info Charge

John Bolton, ex-Trump national security advisor, admitted to illegally retaining classified info — a plea deal that could spare him jail time, though sentencing isn’t final until October 28th. With a max recommended sentence of five years and a $2.25M fine, Bolton might walk away if the judge imposes harsher penalties. Unlike other Trump critics facing legal scrutiny, Bolton quietly accepted the deal after FBI raids last August — even though the probe began before Trump’s 2025 return. His damning memoir, “The Room Where It Happened,” sparked a legal battle with the administration, which claimed it contained national secrets — a claim Trump mocked while calling Bolton names.
