Trump's ex-adviser Bolton pleads guilty in secret Documents case

Former US National Security Adviser John Bolton has pleaded guilty to illegally storing classified information. This was reported by the Associated Press on June 26.

"The plea agreement recommends a prison sentence of five years, but the judge is not bound by this part of the deal. Bolton, who also agreed to pay a fine of $2.25 million, may withdraw his guilty plea if the judge orders a longer prison term," the article says.

The final decision on the penalty should be made by U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang. The verdict is scheduled to be announced on October 28 at a hearing in the city of Greenbelt.
