Petraeus Sentenced to Probation for Leaking Secret Information

HeadlineApr 24, 2015

Former CIA director and retired U.S. Army General David Petraeus has been sentenced to two years’ probation and a $100,000 fine after pleading guilty to leaking highly classified information to his biographer and lover Paula Broadwell. Petraeus will avoid jail time, unlike fellow leakers like Chelsea Manning and John Kiriakou. The fine is reportedly less than he gets for a single speaking appearance.
