Former National Security Adviser John Bolton appears poised to bring his long-running legal battle to a close after reports emerged that he intends to accept a plea agreement with federal prosecutors.
According to reports, Bolton is expected to plead guilty to a single count related to the improper retention of sensitive government material, dramatically reducing the legal jeopardy he once faced.
The development marks a stunning turn for the longtime Washington insider, who served under multiple Republican administrations before becoming one of President Donald Trump’s most vocal critics after a bitter falling out during Trump’s first term.
