6月4日(路透社)——三位消息人士周四透露,约翰·博尔顿——这位曾担任美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的国家安全顾问、后来成为特朗普尖锐批评者的知名人士——将支付225万美元罚款,以了结其处理涉密文件不当的指控。
消息人士要求匿名表示,博尔顿将在6月26日的庭审中就一项基于其日记内容的保留涉密信息罪名认罪。他最高可面临五年监禁。该消息最早由美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)报道。

博尔顿被指控向两名亲属泄露敏感信息,用于其撰写的一本书,其中包括情报简报笔记以及与高级政府官员和外国领导人的会晤记录。他于去年对18项刑事指控拒不认罪。
美国司法部和博尔顿的发言人均拒绝置评。
博尔顿在特朗普第一任期内担任白宫国家安全顾问,之后成为特朗普最直言不讳的批评者之一。他在一本回忆录中称特朗普不适合担任总统。
一位熟悉和解协议的消息人士匿名表示,认罪协议并未指控博尔顿在其写书过程中存在不当行为,但博尔顿承认自己犯下了错误。

June 4 (Reuters) – John Bolton, a prominent critic of U.S. President Donald Trump who once served as his national security adviser, will pay a fine of $2.25 million to settle charges of mishandling classified documents, three sources said on Thursday.
Bolton will plead guilty to one count of retaining classified information based on his diary entries at a court hearing on June 26, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity. He could face up to five years in prison. The news was first reported by CNN.

Bolton is accused of sharing sensitive information with two of his relatives for possible use in a book he was writing, including notes on intelligence briefings and meetings with senior government officials and foreign leaders. He pleaded not guilty to 18 criminal charges last year.
The Justice Department and a Bolton spokesperson declined to comment.
Bolton served as White House national security adviser during Trump’s first term before emerging as one of the president’s most vocal critics. He described Trump as unfit to serve as president in a memoir.
One source familiar with the settlement, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the plea deal alleges no wrongdoing with regard to Bolton’s book, but that Bolton was acknowledging that he made a mistake.
