President Donald Trump's Department of Justice may be staring down another loss in a high-profile case against one of his political foes, according to one expert.
On Thursday, CNN reported that John Bolton, the first Trump administration's national security advisor, had entered into a plea agreement with federal prosecutors over a case stemming from classified information that was contained in his memoir. Tom Dupree, a former deputy assistant attorney general, told CNN's Kaitlan Collins that the Trump DOJ will likely see the case as a loss because Bolton will likely avoid serving time and may only be punished with probation.
Collins noted that recent cases involving former government officials similar to Bolton's ended with the officials paying a fine and receiving one or two years of probation.
