John Bolton surrendered to authorities on Friday morning.
Former National Security Advisor (NSA) John Bolton surrendered to authorities Friday after he was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that allege he mishandled classified information.
Bolton was silent as he entered the courthouse where he is expected to make an initial appearance before a judge on the 18-count indictment brought against him 24-hours earlier.
NBC News reports it saw the man who served as President Donald Trump’s national security adviser during his first term leaving his home in Bethesda, Maryland, in a black sport utility vehicle Friday morning.
The onetime Trump aide turned critic entered the district courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland, just after 8:30 a.m. ET for his initial court appearance.
A grand jury returned an indictment for John Bolton.
NBC News wrote, “The indictment, returned by a grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, alleges Bolton transmitted national defense information using personal email or a messaging application to send sensitive documents classified as Top Secret.”
Prosecutors have been investigating whether Bolton improperly retained classified materials after he left the first Trump administration. He is charged with eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of unlawful retention of that information.
The indictment, returned by a grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, alleges Bolton transmitted national defense information using personal email or a messaging application to send sensitive documents classified as Top Secret. The documents allegedly revealed intelligence about future attacks, foreign adversaries and foreign-policy relations.
The indictment also alleges that Bolton illegally retained documents containing national defense information within his home. These documents included intelligence on an adversary’s leaders as well as information revealing sources and collections used to obtain statements on a foreign adversary.
