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.

In its complaint, the government accused Petraeus of giving the biographer access to eight "black books" that contained classified information about his experience in Afghanistan, including his daily schedule and notes he took during meetings and briefings.

Bush left almost 4 years prior to him even accepting the appointment of this position.

You have a point ... I wonder if the classified material was about how Obama won the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars.
