John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser-turned-adversary, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Maryland on Thursday.
Bolton, the third high-profile Trump political enemy to be indicted in less than a month, now faces eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information.
Essentially, prosecutors say, Bolton kept — and shared with family members — digital diaries of his activities that included all kinds of classified material from when he was national security adviser.
Bolton would allegedly take handwritten notes from his day at the White House and other secure locations then rewrite them on his computer.
Those entries, prosecutors say, were printed and remained on personal devices used by Bolton and others in his home.
The purpose Bolton stated of creating a group chat in which he would later share his notes taken during his work as a national security adviser, the indictment says, was “For Diary in the future!!!”.
That’s because Bolton is alleged to have “actively disseminated” classified information of the “highest level” to family members who had no security clearance. »
