Sandy Berger, who served as national security advisor under Bill Clinton, will plead guilty to charges that he removed classified documents from the national archives as part of a plea bargain with prosecutors.

As a result of the deal, prosecutors will recommend that Berger not serve any jail time but that he be fined $10,000 and lose his security clearance for three years. The maximum penalty for the charge Berger will plead guilty to, 'unauthorized removal and retention of classified material,' is one year in federal prison and a fine of $100,000.

Berger's attorney, Lanny Breuer, told CNN, 'Mr. Berger has cooperated fully with the Department of Justice and is pleased a resolution appears very near.'

Last July, Berger told reporters his actions were 'mistake.' He continued, 'It is one I deeply regret. I dealt with this issue in October 2003, fully and completely. Everything that I have done all along in this process has been for the purpose of aiding and supporting the work of the 9/11 commission and any suggestion to the contrary is simply, absolutely wrong.'

No date for Berger's official sentencing has been announced.
