The lying former National Security Advisor to Trump, John Bolton, pleaded guilty to a felony for the improper handling of classified documents. The fervent opponent of the president faces a sentence of 60 days in jail and a fine of 2.25 million dollars, according to CNN.
Bolton will plead guilty to a charge of illegal retention of confidential national security documents and will pay a fine of over 2 million dollars as an additional penalty. The sentence for this type of crime carries a sentence of between 0 and 60 months in prison.
Trump's enemy kept in his residence notes from a diary belonging to the first government of the Republican leader, classified material considered "highly confidential" that was later sent to family members from a private and insecure email server while he was working in the White House before being fired for incompetence and betrayal.

From traitor to convict
"Investigators reopened an inactive inquiry into Bolton's alleged use of a private email to send classified national security documents to his wife and daughter from his work desk before his dismissal by Trump in September 2019," says information provided by a source who worked on the case to the New York Post.
The investigation against Bolton began in 2020 when he used classified information to write his book titled The Room Where It Happened. That same year, Joe Biden's fraudulent election caused the case to be frozen, but FBI Director Kash Patel revived it and ordered Maryland prosecutors along with federal agents to raid the neoconservative politician's home.
Prosecutors demonstrated Bolton stored classified information on weapons of mass destruction and the United Nations. "The categories of potentially classified records that the FBI reported finding in Bolton's office included: travel memos labeled 'secret'; confidential documents from the U.S. mission to the UN; confidential documents related to strategic communications; and classified documents related to weapons of mass destruction," reported Politico.
