And then he would send that very sensitive information, some of it highly classified, to two family members, either in text messages or in e-mail.

And I will also say that FBI agents discovered digital or printed copies of some of that at his home.

Okay, so lots of evidence to back up the allegations.

What is the agreement then?

So first off, it's important to say that this is a tentative plea deal.

It would still have to be signed off on by a judge.

But a person familiar with the matter tells me that under...

the plea deal.

Bolton would plead guilty to a single count of retaining classified information.

He would also face a fine of a little more than $2 million.

And he could face anywhere from zero prison time to up to five years in prison.

But that is much, much less than if he had taken this case to trial and been found guilty.

Now, a judge, as I said, has to still approve any plea deal.

And ultimately, it's the judge who's going to decide on Bolton's sentence.

Now, I reached out to the Justice Department.

It declined to comment other than referring me to a court notice scheduling a rearrangement for Bolton at the end of the month.

And that is something that often signals that a plea deal has been agreed to.

Well, look, Bolton has said that he thinks that he is being targeted for political reasons, for being a very outspoken critic of President Trump.

That is Bolton's view.

But look, former prosecutors, former senior intelligence officials who I have spoken with think that this case against Bolton has real legal merit.
