John Bolton, who was briefly President Donald Trump’s national security adviser in his first term, will resolve charges against him with a plea deal, according to a new report.
Bolton is expected to plead guilty to one count of retaining sensitive government information, according to The Washington Post.
The deal would vastly reduce any prison time Bolton would serve if found guilty at trial.
Bolton was accused of sending “diary-like” recollections of highly secret work to various relatives who he said would help him with his memoirs.
Bolton has agreed to pay a $2.25 million fine.
