A federal grand jury has returned an indictment charging former National Security Advisor John Bolton with serious crimes related to the mishandling of classified information.
The indictment charges Bolton, who was the NSA under the first Trump administration, with eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of its unlawful retention.
The indictment alleges that Bolton illegally transmitted NDI by using personal email and messaging application accounts to send sensitive documents classified as high as Top Secret. These documents revealed intelligence about future attacks, foreign adversaries, and foreign-policy relations.
