Given probation and fine
A federal judge sentences Petraeus to two years’ probation and a $100,000 fine for giving classified information to Broadwell. Petraeus:
I want to take this opportunity to apologize to those closest to me and others, including this court, for the pain my actions have caused.
Pleads guilty
Petraeus pleads guilty to one count of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material, a misdemeanor, for showing his mistress Broadwell eight “black book” binders of classified material that included identities of covert operatives overseas and notes on his discussions with President Obama. He is eligible for up to one year in prison, but prosecutors will recommend a sentence of probation for two years and a $40,000 fine.
