John Bolton, who once served as the national security advisor to President Donald Trump, may soon face criminal charges or an indictment, potentially as early as next week.
This development follows an FBI raid on his residence earlier this summer, part of an investigation into his handling of classified materials. Bolton, who became a vocal critic of President Trump after his dismissal during Trump's first term, is now under scrutiny for allegedly retaining sensitive documents at his home.
As reported by The Post Millennial, the case against Bolton has gained momentum, with two sources informing MSNBC that charges could be imminent. Kelly Hayes, the acting U.S. Attorney for Maryland, has expressed confidence in the viability of the case against Bolton, which centers on accusations of improper handling of classified information. The FBI's search of Bolton's Maryland home on August 22 was conducted with a warrant sanctioned by a federal judge, based on intelligence provided by the CIA.
The investigation into Bolton's actions was initially launched during President Trump's tenure but was subsequently shelved for "political reasons" under the Biden administration. The probe originated from concerns about Bolton's book, "The Room Where It Happened," which allegedly drew on classified documents. President Trump had opposed the book's publication, fearing it might compromise national security.
Bolton's attorney, Abbe Lowell, has countered the allegations, asserting that the documents in question date back to the George W. Bush administration. Lowell argues that it is not uncommon for long-serving government officials to retain such records.
