John Bolton Pleads Guilty to Hoarding Secrets
Remember when John Bolton was the scariest guy in the room? Well, turns out the man with the world's most aggressive mustache just had to stand in court and apologize for hoarding classified secrets.
The guy who spent decades looking like he wanted to bomb basically everyone has finally met his match: basic record-keeping. The former National Security Adviser under Donald Trump has pleaded guilty to keeping national defense information he absolutely wasn't supposed to have.
He got caught doing the classic Washington move of taking work home, except the "work" in question was classified defense secrets. During his first-term stint with Trump, he apparently decided some documents were just too good to leave behind at the office.
And the best part? After years of being the ultimate hawk who never backs down, Bolton actually had to apologize. His official quote in court was, "And I am sorry for it." The hawk has officially been house-trained.
It is always the ones with the loudest opinions on national security who find the concept of "not taking top-secret files home" completely baffling.
