Former National Security Adviser John Bolton has made a stunning admission, pleading guilty to a single count of retaining classified national defense information. In a rare move, Bolton, who was a key figure in President Trump's administration, took responsibility for his actions, stating "And I am sorry for it." Bolton's guilty plea comes as a surprise, given his reputation as a hawk on national security issues and his involvement in some of the most sensitive decision-making processes of the Trump presidency. The plea deal marks a significant development in an ongoing investigation into Bolton's handling of classified information, and raises questions about the consequences of his actions.
