Former National Security Adviser Pleads Guilty

Former Trump administration national security adviser John Bolton has pleaded guilty to illegally retaining classified information, sealing a deal with federal prosecutors that could allow him to avoid a prison term. Bolton became an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump after serving in the Republican’s first administration and is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 28. Also, Vice President JD Vance said Thursday the Watergate scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon would have been a blip in today’s news cycle, and he drew parallels between Nixon and Trump — arguing that both were targeted by “deep state” forces.
