Ex-Trump adviser John Bolton indicted by a federal grand jury​

A federal grand jury indicted former national security adviser John Bolton on Thursday, a senior Justice Department official said.

Bolton is the third person to be hit with federal charges in the last month after President Donald Trump called for their prosecution.

Bolton was indicted in federal court in Maryland, where he lives and where prosecutors have been investigating whether he improperly retained classified materials following his acrimonious departure from the first Trump administration.
