Graham Platner Denies Allegations of Abuse; John Bolton Expected to Plead Guilty

Graham Platner, a Democratic candidate for the Maine Senate seat, stated in an interview with MS NOW that allegations of physical abuse reported by the New York Times are false and politically motivated. In a separate development, John Bolton, former national security adviser, is expected to plead guilty to mishandling classified documents, according to multiple reports. CNN cited sources indicating that Bolton will plead guilty to one count of illegal retention of sensitive national security documents and has agreed to pay a fine exceeding $2 million. The New York Times reported that Bolton could face a sentence ranging from no prison time to up to five years.
