David Petraeus the former US army general and CIA director who was prosecuted for mishandling classified information has entered the race to become Donald Trumps secretary of state, the Guardian reports.
Petraeus resigned in November 2012 after the FBI discovered he had had an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, and had shared classified information with her. He eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for mishandling the information. People who have seen him recently say he is anxious to return to public life and has privately refused to rule out serving in a Trump administration.
