TL;DR Summary

Former national security adviser John Bolton has agreed to plead guilty to a single count of retaining classified information found in a private diary, under a plea deal that could bring up to 60 months in prison and a $2.25 million fine; the indictment says Bolton shared more than a thousand pages of national-defense information with two unauthorized individuals who were relatives of his wife and daughter, after raids on his Maryland home and D.C. office. He is set to appear in Greenbelt, Md., on June 26 to formalize the plea, making him one of several high-profile Trump opponents indicted in federal cases during Trump’s presidency.
