"Former National Security Advisor John Bolton was reportedly indicted Thursday over his alleged mishandling of classified documents.The investigation into Bolton, who served for more than a year in President Donald Trump’s first administration before being fired in 2019, burst into public view in August when the FBI searched his home in Maryland and his office in Washington for classified records he may have held onto from his years in government.
The concerns over Bolton’s mishandling of classified information arose in 2020 when he published a memoir after having a falling-out with the president.
A copy of the memoir leaked to the New York Times during the first impeachment fight in 2020. The White House told him not to publish it until the classified information allegedly in the book was removed. He published it anyway.
Though a federal judge declined to order that Bolton’s book — of which thousands of copies had been printed and shipped before going on sale in 2020 — be pulped, the judge also ruled that Bolton had likely compromised national security."
