General David Petraeus - the ex-CIA boss who admitted mishandling classified information - say's he'd serve under Trump if asked

David Petraeus, the retired four-star general who led the CIA until he resigned in 2012,  says he would serve in President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet if asked.

'The only response can be: "yes, Mr President,'' Petraeus told BBC Radio 4's Today program.

Petraeus, 64, has been mentioned as a possible contender for secretary of state and secretary of defense.

He was charged with a misdemeanor and plead guilty to mishandling classified information after he shared government secrets with his mistress.
