John Bolton Indicted by Justice Department

A senior Justice Department official has informed NBC News that former Trump national security adviser John Bolton has been indicted. Bolton, who previously served as national security adviser before breaking with President Trump and becoming a vocal critic, was under investigation throughout the summer. This investigation included an FBI search of his residence in the Washington D.C. area over the summer, reportedly concerning allegations of improper handling of classified information.

Context of Indictment

While specific details of the indictment against John Bolton are not yet available, this development marks the third instance in recent weeks where a political rival of President Trump has been indicted by federal grand juries operating under the Trump Department of Justice. This pattern suggests a broader trend of legal actions against individuals who have opposed or been critical of the former president.
