Retired Army Gen. David Petraeus apologized again for sharing classified information with his mistress, Paula Broadwell, NBC News reported.
"Four years ago, I made a serious mistake — one that brought discredit on me and pain to those closest to me," he said during testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday. "It was a violation of the trust placed in me and a breach of values."
It was Petraeus' first appearance before members of Congress since resigning as CIA director after the controversy over his affair with Broadwell. Petraeus, who retired in 2011 after commanding U.S. and coalition efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, was later sentenced to two years' probation and fined $100,000 for sharing classified material with Broadwell as she worked on his biography.
