Maryland Grand Jury Indicts John Bolton – RedState | Political News
A Maryland grand jury has indicted former National Security Adviser John Bolton.
There have been hints earlier in the day on Thursday that an indictment could also be forthcoming, as GWN reported that the Department of Justice (DOJ) was anticipated to ask a grand jury to return one.
The lead prosecutor on the Bolton investigation arrived at the courthouse in Greenbelt just before 1:30 p.m. Thursday to meet with the grand jury. The grand jury had been there throughout the morning listening to other issues.
Bolton has been under investigation for alleged illegal handling of labeled data.
Sources beforehand told GWN that half of the Justice Department’s investigation facilities around notes he was making to himself in an AOL electronic mail account — at instances writing summaries of his actions like diary entries — when he was working for Trump.
The grand jury has now obliged.
The indictment alleges that Bolton knowingly transmitted supplies associated to international coverage issues while speaking with outdoors contacts after leaving the White House.
The FBI executed search warrants at Bolton’s home and workplace in August.

An investigation into Bolton’s potential leaking of labeled data was initially launched by the DOJ in 2020 in relation to his memoir, titled “The Room Where It Happened,” but was then shuttered after Joe Biden took office.
The book made several dubious claims, including allegations that President Trump asked for help with his election from Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Subpoenas were issued at the time, and a grand jury was convened before the Biden administration stepped in to shut it down.
The Washington Post reported in 2020 that administration officials at the time had “uncovered legitimate instances of unauthorized disclosures of classified information.”
Trump posted on X that the former National Security Adviser “broke the law” and “should be in jail, money seized, for disseminating, for profit, highly Classified information.”
Bolton’s indictment follows those of New York Attorney General Letitia James (on claims of bank fraud) and former FBI Director James Comey (for false statements and obstruction). Both of those instances are pending in the Eastern District of Virginia. Bolton’s case will proceed in Maryland.
