Stone-faced John Bolton CONFESSES in court he stole government secrets in stunning reversal... and begs for no jail time
*President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton walked into federal court with a very stern expression before admitting to stealing national security secrets.
He pleaded guilty on Friday to a single charge of retaining classified information - a significant update in his criminal case, and one that may help him avoid a lengthy jail sentence.
Under the terms of the deal, Bolton could serve up to 60 months, or 5 years, in prison in exchange for his guilty plea. He may also be required to pay a fine of up to $2.25 million and serve 100 hours of community service.
