He faces up to 60 months in prison and has agreed to pay $2.25 million; Bolton described the retained information as an electronic diary entry shared with two family members. He was re-arraigned in Greenbelt, Maryland, and is set to be sentenced on Oct. 28, with the original indictment having charged multiple counts related to transmission and retention of national defense information.

Bolton to plead guilty in classified-documents case, facing up to five years

Former national security adviser John Bolton is expected to plead guilty to one count of retaining national defense information, with a potential prison term of up to five years and a $2.25 million fine. A change-of-plea hearing is set for June 26 before Judge Theodore D. Chuang in Maryland. The deal stems from Bolton allegedly sharing over 1,000 pages of sensitive material with relatives to help with a book and sending materials via a personal email later hacked, with additional documents found during a 2020 FBI search of his Bethesda home and D.C. office. The plea would be a notable DOJ victory in pursuing charges against Trump associates.

Bolton says Trump seeks Iran exit to protect political standing

John Bolton, Trump’s former national security adviser, said Trump wants out of the Iran conflict for domestic political reasons and fears it would look like cutting and running; Bolton argued that extending the ceasefire could signal he’s simply chasing a deal, while warning Iran is unlikely to honor a new agreement as diplomacy continues, even as Trump extended the truce and kept pressure on Tehran.

Bodies of UK tenants left undiscovered for years by landlords

A British housing association apologized after discovering a tenant’s body in his home possibly six years after he died. The association discovered the corpse of Robert Alton in his apartment. A coroner determined Alton would have died in 2017 at the age of 70, his death going unnoticed since he continued to pay rent through automatic rent payments funded by housing benefits. The association changed its procedures on council tax collection, which allowed it to gain instant access to his home and discover his body.
