Trump’s former adviser turned critic John Bolton expected to be criminally charged as early as next week: report

Maryland prosecutors plan charges against John Bolton for retaining classified national security materials despite warnings, with a grand jury hearing evidence for several weeks.

  • John Bolton, a former national security adviser, is expected to face federal charges soon, according to two federal officials with knowledge of the investigation.
  • The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland is likely to bring the charges following searches of Bolton's home and office related to classified records.
  • The acting U.S. Attorney, Kelly Hayes, believes there is a reasonable basis to pursue charges against Bolton for mishandling classified information.
  • If charged, Bolton would become the third critic of Donald Trump facing federal prosecution in recent weeks, following James Comey and Letitia James.
