John Bolton, former national security adviser for President Donald Trump, is expected to take a plea deal with the government in the case accusing him of mishandling classified documents, sources familiar with the matter told CNN Thursday.
Bolton, 77, is expected to plead guilty to one count of illegal retention of sensitive national security documents and pay a hefty fine of more than $2 million, CNN reported. He is expected to appear in Maryland federal court on June 26 for a rearraignment, court documents show.
