David Petraeus to plead guilty to mishandling classified information

March 3, 2015

Former CIA Director David Petraeus will plead guilty to mishandling classified information, a Department of Justice spokesperson said Tuesday. The plea agreement outlines the terms in which prosecutors will recommend a sentence of two years of probation, with no jail time, and a $40,000 fine.

 Petraeus, a retired four-star general and once America’s top official in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, became CIA director in 2011. The question has been whether he gave classified information to a woman who was writing a book about him and who was also his mistress. Petraeus acknowledged the affair when he stepped down in 2012 after leading the CIA for about a year.
