WASHINGTON — Former U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton has been indicted for allegedly sharing classified information, marking a dramatic turn in the career of one of Washington’s most outspoken foreign policy figures.
The indictment accuses Bolton of unlawfully disclosing sensitive national security details through both his public statements and his published memoir, sparking concerns over potential breaches of state secrecy.
Bolton, known for his hardline stances, has denied any wrongdoing, stating that his publications underwent government review prior to release. Legal experts, however, say the case could set a precedent for how the U.S. handles high-profile leaks involving former officials.
The development adds a new layer of political tension ahead of the upcoming election season, especially given Bolton’s strained relationship with former President Donald Trump.
