Former national security adviser John Bolton has pleaded guilty in federal court to the unlawful retention of classified national security documents.
Bolton admitted to improperly keeping classified government records after leaving his post in the Trump administration.
Federal law imposes strict controls on the handling and storage of classified material, and violations can carry serious penalties. The plea resolves a central charge stemming from his handling of the documents.
