John Bolton Indicted Over Classified Info Handling. John Bolton, ex-Trump national security adviser, indicted over mishandling classified information. A Maryland grand jury approved the indictment following FBI raids on Bolton’s home and office in August. Bolton faces 18 charges for transmitting and storing national defense info via personal email and apps Prosecutors say the material included intel on foreign threats, enemy leaders, and sensitive gathering methods. The indictment claims Bolton shared classified entries with two relatives who lacked security clearance. Bolton’s attorney argues the records were unclassified diaries, shared only with family and known to the FBI since 2021. This marks the third recent indictment of a Trump critic, following charges against James Comey and Letitia James. Bolton is expected to surrender to authorities and could face up to 10 years in prison for each count if convicted. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
