US EditionEx Trump adviser Bolton pleads not guilty to charges of mishandling classified information
- On Friday, John Bolton, former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, pleaded not guilty to charges of emailing classified information and storing top secret files at his Maryland home, and a federal judge ordered his release.
- Bolton says the prosecution grew from a fight over his 2020 book, involving top secret information and an unsuccessful Justice Department effort to block publication of `The Room Where It Happened`.
- Prosecutors say more than 1,000 pages of Bolton's diaries shared only with his family were exposed after a 2021 email hack, according to authorities and the indictment.
- Bolton says he will argue the case is politically motivated and part of a Trump `effort to intimidate his opponents`, while Attorney General Pam Bondi stated `There is one tier of justice for all Americans.`
- Historically, the Justice Department's classified-document probes have spanned multiple high-profile figures, including David Petraeus, Hillary Clinton and President Joe Biden, with outcomes hinging on willful mishandling or obstruction.
