Former National Security Adviser John Bolton is set to plead guilty to mishandling classified materials, CNN reported Thursday citing anonymous sources.
Bolton has agreed to pay a fine of more than $2 million and will plead guilty to a single count of illegal retention of sensitive national security documents, one of CNN’s three anonymous sources told the outlet. On this count, Bolton can face a prison sentence of up to 60 months.
In October 2025, a federal grand jury indicted Bolton on 18 counts in connection to the former Trump administration official’s alleged mishandling of classified information.
Bolton, widely known as a proponent of hawkish foreign policy, served as President Donald Trump’s national security chief from April 2018 to September 2019, before publicly falling out with and becoming a notable detractor of the president.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

Let him keep his money. I want to see him in cuffs and then locked up in a federal prison.
I doubt if he serves time. If so, less than a year. We’ll see.
More winning!
That movie has so many good scenes.
I think I started typing a completely different thought, in the prior comment.
Federal prison is no picnic...
CONVICTED FELON!
No pardon.
When are they ever going to convict anyone?
If Bolton is accepting this plea deal and is still facing a possible prison sentence, he must have really done a lot of damage to the country.
Where’s the perp walk!?
Where did Bolton pick up $2 million?
His father was a fire man.
Bolton was rarely in private practice as a lawyer.
Almost all his work was in government and elections.
Bolton created a Super PAC in 2013. He raised millions.
In 2018, his Super Pac reported $2.6 million in unspent donations.
