Good afternoon. I'm Raphael Warnock. President Trump's one-time National Security Advisor pleads guilty to mishandling classified information. Former National Security Advisor John Bolton pleaded guilty to a single count of illegally holding on the classified information as part of a plea deal with federal prosecutors. He is set to be sentenced on October 28th and could face as much as five years in prison, though the agreement with the Justice Department may help avoid any jail time. John Bolton can withdraw his plea if the judge sentences him to a longer prison sentence or a fine of more than $2.25 million. John Bolton was charged last year with 18 counts of retaining and disseminating classified information, including journal notes he shared with family members as he wrote a memoir.

Repairs can range anywhere from just a few bucks to up to thousands of dollars. In less than a month, Boeing Plaza on the EAA grounds in Oshkosh will be transformed into a hub for air venture.
