Former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton is expected to plead guilty in his federal classified documents case, according to multiple reports Thursday, marking a dramatic turn in a prosecution that has fueled accusations of political retaliation and renewed scrutiny of government officials’ handling of sensitive information.

ABC News first reported that Bolton is expected to plead guilty to charges stemming from his alleged mishandling of classified documents, citing sources familiar with the matter. CNN separately reported that Bolton is expected to plead guilty to one.

PAUL’S DEFENSE BRIEF (PDB) – ‘Make Europe Great Again’ and more from a longer, unpublished version of Trump’s National Security Strategy. With its calls for “strong, traditional families” and “reinvigoration of American spiritual and cultural health,” the latest National Security Strategy is a major departure not only from its immediate predecessor, but even the first Trump administration’s.

While the publicly released NSS calls for the end of a “perpetually expanding NATO,” the reportedly full, unpublished version goes more into the details of how the Trump administration would like to — quote — “Make Europe Great Again,” even as it calls on European NATO members to wean themselves from U.S. military support.

Working from the premise that Europe is facing “civilizational erasure” because of its immigration policies and “censorship of free speech,” the NSS proposes to focus U.S. relationships with European countries on the few nations with like-minded—right-wing, presumably — current administrations and movements.

Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland are listed as countries the U.S. should “work more with…with the goal of pulling them away from the [European Union].”

“And we should support parties, movements, and intellectual and cultural figures who seek sovereignty and preservation/restoration of traditional European ways of life…while remaining pro-American,” the document says.

The White House has since denied the existence of any version of the National Security Strategy other than the unclassified one published online.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY – Here’s a roundup of today’s other top defense news from conservative national security expert PAUL CRESPO.

THE PDB – Not the President’s Daily Briefing, but almost as good – PAUL’S DEFENSE BRIEF:    

NATIONAL SECURITY

Creating a new military service to wage cyber war would take too long, risk creating top-heavy bureaucracy, and create confusion about the defense of other services’ IT networks, two former leaders of  CYBERCOM told a congressionally chartered research committee.

HOMELAND DEFENSE

Space Force requested prototype proposals for space-based interceptors that can destroy missiles during the midcourse phase of flight, on top of previous efforts to develop interceptors that take down missiles in their initial boost phase.

DEFENSE POLITICS

Hegseth issues directive to bring back ‘psyop’ terminology, quietly ordering name change to military entity charged with influencing foreign audiences, reverting its title back to one used 15 years ago.

Pentagon must develop a plan to fill munition stockpiles to levels needed to fight multiple large-scale conflicts at once, says new defense spending bill.

Congress committing to only fraction of funding necessary for Navy’s F/A-XX program in latest version of defense policy bill, while fully backing development of Air Force’s F-47 fighter.

Congress is closer to saving E-7 Wedgetail from the Pentagon chopping block, with the House preparing to pass the presumptive final version of the National Defense Authorization bill.

Congress removes provisions in the policy bill that would have allowed the military to purchase the technical data, parts, and information needed to repair its own equipment.

New congressional measure could require military services to assign blast safety officers to enforce safety rules and teach troops about the risks of blast overpressure caused by heavy weapons during training.

A key defense industry organization is urging the Trump administration to make more aggressive changes to the federal acquisition process.

US POWER OVERSEAS

Amphibious assault ship, cruiser make Navy’s first visit to Vietnamese city Da Nang in 2 years.

VENEZUELA-NARCO THREAT

U.S. flew pair of F/A-18 fighters in what appears to be the closest U.S. warplanes have come to the South American country’s airspace since start of Trump’s pressure campaign against the socialist drug lord dictator Nicolas Maduro.

The Super Hornets were tracked in the center of the Gulf of Venezuela and stayed there for 40 minutes.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth told congressional leaders he was still weighing whether to release the full video of the attack on the drug boat that killed two survivors, as he faces intensifying demands from Congress for disclosure.

CHINA THREAT

Japan and South Korea scrambled jets in response to joint Chinese Russian bomber patrol over international waters near both of those nations. The flights come as tensions between China and Japan are heightened over latter’s increasing signals of support for Taiwan.

Canberra has green-lit a third tranche of the Australian-designed and -built MQ-28 Ghost Bat Collaborative Combat Aircraft from Boeing, $500 million deal that will include several modifications to the design, including an internal weapons bay.

RUSSIA THREAT

Europe’s last road through Russia has closed for good. In eastern Estonia, NATO and Russia face each other on the frontier between a country with a population smaller than Vienna’s and the world’s largest nuclear power, where Russia may one day launch a limited invasion into NATO.

UKRAINE WAR

Volodymyr Zelensky is ready to hold a wartime election within the next three months, if Ukraine’s parliament and foreign allies allow it, after Trump accused him of clinging to power.

Ukraine’s European allies agreed to increase support for Ukraine and put more economic pressure on Vladimir Putin as they say efforts to end Moscow’s “barbaric” war are at a “critical moment.”

NATO EUROPEAN DEFENSE

How Europe’s responding to Russian drone threats. Europe still relies on much costlier fighters and missiles, even as it tests out new Ukrainian counter-drone concepts. Meanwhile, civil authorities are beginning to adopt electronic countermeasures against cheap drones causing havoc at airports.

UK scaling back military training exercises outside Europe from next year, as it reorients Army and Royal Navy around NATO commitments and high-end warfighting.

UK Royal Navy unveils new “Atlantic Bastion” strategy to counter Russian subsea threat.

UK’s Helsing’s SG-1 Fathom autonomous submarine glider as a part of this new Royal Navy program.

In Nordic maritime push, Norway to buy two more subs, in latest long-term defense plan to eventually operate six new boats in total carrying long-range strike missiles. And Denmark buys new surveillance ship.

MIDDLE EAST THREATS

Despite Pope visit and new talks, analysts predict Israeli escalation coming in Lebanon as long as Israel believes Lebanese government isn’t doing enough to disarm Hezbollah.

SPACE THREATS

Pentagon should commission independent “roles and missions” review “across the national security enterprise,” and invest in “cross-domain” capabilities to ensure U.S. military can achieve “space superiority,” argues new report.

China launched 4 missions in 4 days, accelerating its record-setting launch cadence while expanding its Guowang LEO megaconstellation and deploying new Yaogan reconnaissance assets.

INTERNATIONAL SECURITY

Russia jails the 2nd most journalists worldwide, well below China. China is leagues ahead of its nearest suppressors, in terms of number of journalists in its jails, with 113 in jail this year – well over double Russia and Myanmar’s count.

Canada contracts satellite operator Telesat and manufacturer MDA Space to explore options for multibillion-dollar military communications network to support Canadian Armed Forces in Arctic.

U.S. sanctions 4 Colombian nationals and the four businesses they help run, accusing them of forming a “transnational network” to profit from, and recruiting fighters for Sudan’s civil war.

US MILITARY

Is carrier Wi-Fi distracting sailors?  Investigations released about carrier Harry S. Truman’s loss of 3 F/A-18 Super Hornets and collision with merchant ship in 4 separate mishaps on last deployment, raising grave concerns about training gaps and sailors’ lack of focus and professionalism when fulfilling their duties.

Navy activated first information warfare squadron in effort to leverage intelligence and cyber expertise for carrier strike group commanders.

Navy finally recovered MH-60R Seahawk helicopter and F/A-18F Super Hornet from aircraft carrier USS Nimitz that crashed within half an hour of each other in South China Sea. They were 400 feet depth.

Air Force is turning to AI to boost its wargames.

M1A2 Abrams tank armed with Switchblade of loitering munition drones tested by Army via system known as Precision Effects & Reconnaissance, Canister-Housed (PERCH).
