John BoltonThe 26-page indictment alleges John Bolton from April 2018 until August 2025 "abused his position as National Security Advisor by sharing more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities as the National Security Advisor" and unlawfully retained classified documents at his home in Montgomery County, Maryland.  Former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton was indicted in October 2025 on 18 federal charges related to the alleged mishandling of classified documents. A vocal critic of President Trump, Bolton has pleaded not guilty and claims the prosecution is politically motivated retribution. Indictment Details The indictment against Bolton includes 18 federal charges for the alleged unlawful transmission and retention of national defense information. The allegations state Bolton shared over 1,000 pages of classified information, some at the Top Secret level, via unsecure personal email and messaging apps. Prosecutors claim that Iranian-linked hackers compromised Bolton's personal email in 2021, potentially accessing this sensitive information. The charges are unrelated to his 2020 memoir, The Room Where It Happened. Concerns about Politically-Charged Prosecutions The indictment of Bolton has raised concerns about potential political motivations, as it follows other recent federal charges against prominent critics of President Trump, including former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. While the timing is suspicious, legal experts suggest Bolton's case appears more substantial than those against Comey and James. The Bolton investigation began under the Biden administration and was brought by career prosecutors, contrasting with the Comey and James indictments, which were initiated by a Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney.
