Plea Bargain Near in Spy Case
- Share via

The sources said Jonathan Jay Pollard, a counterterrorism specialist, was brought to Washington from a federal prison in Virginia last week to discuss the negotiations with his lawyers. “We expect a resolution of the case, and we expect it sooner rather than later,” one source said of the bargaining.
