Mr. Bolton, a Trump aide turned critic, is part of a string of presidential foes to become prosecutorial targets. But his case gained momentum in the Biden administration.

John Bolton is expected to surrender to authorities and make his first court appearance. The former Trump administration national security adviser is accused of storing top secret records at home

John Bolton, former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, was indicted Thursday on charges of mishandling classified material. The indictment, filed in federal court in Greenbelt, MD, charges Bolton with eight counts of transmitting national defense information (NDI) and ten counts of unlawfully retaining NDI.

Mark Zaid, a national security lawyer who specializes in tough cases involving classified information, called the indictment of Bolton "far, far weaker (and more customary of conduct by senior govt officials) than allegations against President Trump in stealing & storing marked classified documents at Mar-a-Lago."
