Summary
John Bolton is set to plead guilty Friday to one charge of mishandling classified info, agreeing to pay a $2.25 million fine as part of a deal that slashes his original 18-count indictment. Prosecutors say he secretly sent sensitive government notes—typed from handwritten drafts—to relatives via personal messaging apps and email over seven years, allegedly for use in his book. He previously denied guilt, but this plea doesn’t involve accusations of leaking to foreign powers or media. The judge must approve the deal, with a potential sentence of up to 60 months if convicted. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
