Annabel Nugent1 October 2026 21:12 Our Traitors are looking good! (BBC) Annabel Nugent1 October 2026 21:10 Personally, I think it will be Amol who is the one to go. James has been very vocal about his suspicions of Richard, so I think taking him out of the game would be too obvious a move. (BBC) Annabel Nugent1 October 2026 21:08 I do love getting a little bit of insight into celebrity handwriting… (BBC) Annabel Nugent1 October 2026 21:07 So that’s it: James Acaster and Amol Rajan are being summoned to the chapel, which means one of them will be the next Traitor and one of them will be going home. I can’t believe it’ll be the final night for either of them – it’s hardly worth unpacking your bags for! Annabel Nugent1 October 2026 21:06 Are you listening to this music …

John Bolton To Plead Guilty In Documents Case, Pay $2M Fine: Report

John Bolton, former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, has reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors and is expected to plead guilty to one count of illegal retention of sensitive national security documents, according to CNN, citing three sources familiar with the matter. Under the agreement, Bolton will pay a fine of more than $2 million. A single count of illegal retention carries a possible sentence of up to 60 months in prison. A court hearing is currently scheduled for June 26. Bolton was originally charged in Maryland with eight counts of transmission of national defense information and ten counts of retention of national defense information.

Prosecutors accused him of sharing more than 1,000 pages of information through his personal email with two unauthorized individuals – reportedly his wife and daughter – though these transmission allegations are not part of the plea deal.

Some were listed for sale at prices reaching $160,000, a level that placed them comfortably within the mid-tier market where due diligence can be uneven and provenance often taken at face value.  To give the works a veneer of legitimacy, the defendants fabricated …
