John Bolton pleads guilty to charges of mishandling classified documents. John Bolton—one of Washington’s most prominent hawks, a staunch Russia critic, and a frequent political firebrand—served for a time as National Security Advisor during Trump’s first administration.

He’s given up on all the “talent” except for You Know Who. Trump often confuses himself with America, and America with himself.
