- In August, FBI searches in Bolton's Maryland home and Washington office revealed classified records, while the inquiry traces to disputes over his 2020 book and a White House National Security Council official's manuscript review.
- The 18-count indictment alleges Bolton shared more than 1,000 pages with two family members, including top secret information and details about sources and methods, which operatives linked to the Iranian regime accessed via hacking.
- Bolton surrendered and appeared in court Friday at the federal courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland, and the indictment was signed by career national security prosecutors amid other recent prosecutions of Trump critics.
- Bolton denied the charges, calling them an 'intensive effort' by President Trump to intimidate opponents, while Abbe Lowell said the facts were resolved years ago and the FBI knew the diary material since 2021.
