(GREENBELT, Md.) — President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton pleaded guilty Friday to one count of illegal retention of national security information.
Bolton entered his plea to the single felony count in federal court in Greenbelt, Maryland, before U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang.
The guilty plea makes Bolton thus far the only successfully prosecuted case in Trump’s campaign of retribution against those he perceives to be his political enemies.
Bolton had faced 18 counts of unlawful transmission and retention of national defense information for allegedly sharing notes with his wife and daughter — some of which contained information classified as high as Top Secret — during his time serving in the first Trump administration.
Bolton changed his plea to guilty with respect to count 12 of his indictment.
Sitting in court Friday alongside his attorney Abbe Lowell, Bolton answered a series of questions from Judge Chuang acknowledging his rights and his voluntary decision to plead guilty to the charge, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.
When asked if he was pleading guilty be cause he is, in fact, guilty, Bolton responded to Chuang: “I am, your honor, I’m sorry for it.”
According to terms of the plea agreement outlined by prosecutors in court, the government will not seek a sentence of more than 60 months and Bolton has agreed to forfeit approximately $2.2 million to resolve the case.
Judge Chuang will ultimately have final discretion over how much time Bolton could serve, if any.
Bolton has also agreed to serve 100 hours of community service and is forfeiting any retirement pay tied to his time in federal service.
The count he is pleading guilty to involves keeping classified national security information in diaries, according to sources. Bolton is expected to maintain that he did not take documents with classification markings out of government offices.
Bolton, who was national security adviser for part of the first Trump administration, was indicted by a grand jury in October 2025 on charges that he allegedly unlawfully transmitted and retained classified documents.
The indictment, handed up by a federal grand jury in Maryland, charged Bolton with eight counts of unlawful transmission of national defense information as well as 10 counts of unlawful retention of national defense information.
Prosecutors had accused Bolton of using a non-government personal email account and messaging application to transmit to two unauthorized family members at least eight documents that contained information classified at levels ranging from “secret” to “top secret.”
I Prevail has debuted a new single called “Paradise,” a collaboration with Amira Elfeky.
Elfeky, whose style is described in a press release as “alt goth x grunge,” will be opening for I Prevail on select dates of their upcoming tour of the U.K. and Europe beginning in September.
“We’ve been fans of Amira for a while,” I Prevail says in a statement. “She has such a distinct sound and style. The opportunity to write together came up super organically and we instantly connected on this crazy concept for a song.”
“We all saw the vision for it almost right away,” the band continues. “That’s a rare and beautiful thing when it happens. We still don’t think we know exactly what we made. We never had to stop to think about it. We just made it.”
You can watch the video for “Paradise” streaming now on YouTube.
“Paradise” follows follows I Prevail’s 2025 album, Violent Nature, which marked their first following the departure of vocalist Brian Burkheiser. It spawned the single “Into Hell.”
I Prevail will be touring the U.S. starting in October alongside Three Days Grace.
The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has premiered a new song called “Plans,” the first single off his upcoming solo album, Thrasher.
“Plans” previews the country-influenced sound of Thrasher, which Flowers previously teased when he announced the record earlier in the week.
“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found my way back to my father’s music – ‘Country-Western’ (as he called it) – and discovered that the stories I carry really feel most at home in the skin of this beautiful American tradition,” Flowers said.
Thrasher is due out Aug. 21. It marks Flowers’ third solo album and his first in 11 years.
Flowers will launch a U.S. solo tour in September.
The most recent Killers album is 2021’s Pressure Machine.
Benson Boone, ‘The Time of My Life’ (Warner Records)
Benson Boone has teamed up with social media star Alix Earle to create what he calls an “epic” video for his new song, “The Time of My Life.”
In the elaborate clip, Benson and Alix play actors ready to go onstage in a theater, but Benson is distracted by the thought that the woman he loves may not attend. The two then act out a series of fairy-tale like scenarios: They meet on a medieval, Beauty and the Beast-like street, engage in swordplay in a tavern, fight dragons and eventually end up at an altar, ready to marry.
Throughout the performance, the camera repeatedly cuts to an empty chair with a sign that reads “Reserved.” When it comes time for Benson to kiss the bride, he can’t go through with it. Instead, he runs off the stage, out of the theater and through a portal, where he tries to reach the woman he’s been missing, but can’t get to her.
The camera then cuts back to the altar, where Benson realizes Alix is actually the woman for him and plants a big kiss on her.
Benson wrote on Instagram, “I have had The Time Of My Life creating this song and video. Thank you to the incredible @alixearle you are a dream and you made this whole shoot come to life. I hope you guys enjoy this song so much, I’ve probably said this 90 kabillion times but this is my favorite piece of work I have ever made and I’m so proud of it.”
“Love you guys, and I love this life,” he adds. “I’ll never take it for granted”
Alix wrote in the comments, “So grateful to be a part of something so special. still cry every time I hear this song.”

A new trailer is out for Breaking Bear, the adult animated series executive produced by blink-182’s Tom DeLonge.
The show follows a family of anthropomorphic bears who “run a drug empire to raise money to save their forest from frackers and an endless array of psychotic enemies,” according to its description. Or, as DeLonge previously stated when the project was first announced back in 2022, it’s “just a ridiculous show about animals doing drugs.”
The trailer, which is streaming on YouTube, certainly lives up to that promise, alongside the type of humor you might expect from someone whose band just celebrated the 25th anniversary of an album called Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.
Breaking Bear stars the voices of Brendan Fraser, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Annie Murphy, Josh Gad and Elizabeth Hurley, among others. It will premiere July 24 on Tubi.
Blink-182, meanwhile, recently announced a run of European dates, set to kick off in June 2027.

Five Finger Death Punch has announced a new album called Legacy.
The milestone 10th studio effort from the Las Vegas metallers will arrive July 31 via digital outlets and on physical formats Sept. 18.
“Every album is a snapshot of who we were at that particular moment in time, and Legacy is exactly what the title suggests,” says guitarist Zoltan Bathory in a statement. “It’s a reflection on the journey, the lessons, the victories, the struggles, and everything we’ve experienced over the last two decades.”
“At the same time, Legacy isn’t about looking backward,” adds frontman Ivan Moody. “20 years is a milestone, not a destination. We’re incredibly proud of this record because it captures everything people love about Five Finger Death Punch while also pointing toward where we’re headed next.”
Legacy includes the previously released single “Eye of the Storm.” A second track, called “De Oppresso Liber,” is out now.

The Byrds hit #1 on the Billboard singles chart with their debut single, a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man.” It became the first recording of a Dylan song to reach number one on any pop music chart.
The track would be one of two #1 hits for the group. The other, “Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season),” would top the chart six months later.
Dylan’s version of the song appeared on his 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home. The Byrds’ version was released less than a month after Dylan’s, and became the title track of their debut album.
Both versions of the song have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
