GREENBELT, Maryland –
John Bolton, U.S. President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, was charged on Thursday in a sweeping indictment that accuses him of sharing sensitive government information with two of his relatives for possible use in a book he was writing.
The indictment marked the third time in recent weeks the Justice Department has secured criminal charges against one of Trump’s critics.
The indictment says the notes Bolton shared with his two relatives in electronic messages included information he gleaned from meetings with senior government officials, discussions with foreign leaders, and intelligence briefings.
