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.

Bad day to be a walrus.
This made me smile.
He was offered a plea deal. 2 Million dollars or shave off that mustache and keep it off.
And which foreign government was he passing them along to?
Maybe he can name names.
But Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden walk free ...
There is no justice.
“Mishandling”? Thought it was outright theft?

I’ll always thank Tucker for exposing him. You’ll never see a leftie journalist do that.
Big snoozer. It’s outrageous if Todd Blank doesn’t put Bolton in prison.
What will Hillary Clinton be wearing in prison?
Oh ... that's right ... she's not going to prison. She's walking around free as a bird.
It's good to be a democRAT.
I was hoping for at least 10 years in the clink for him, but I bet this will be 36 months at max.
He needs stood up against a pock marked wall with a blind fold and last cigarette and made to take the results.
No “Sandy Burglar” defense for Bolton?
