The plea was made in federal court in Greenbelt, Maryland, before U.S. District Judge Theodore D. Chuang.
Bolton, 77, had faced an 18-count indictment that had accused him of both transmitting and retaining highly sensitive, classified materials during and after his time in the Trump administration.
Bolton served as national security advisor from April 2018 until September 2019.
Prosecutors alleged that while in that role, he created extensive “diary-like entries” and notes detailing his daily activities, meetings with foreign leaders, intelligence briefings, and sensitive policy discussions. He then transmitted more than 1,000 pages of this material, some classified up to the Top Secret/SCI level, via his personal AOL email account and messaging applications to two unauthorized individuals.
The indictment added that Bolton unlawfully retained classified national defense information at his home in Bethesda, Maryland, and his Washington, D.C., office.
These documents reportedly included intelligence on foreign adversaries, sources and methods, and other sensitive matters related to weapons of mass destruction and U.S. strategy.
The case gained significant momentum after Bolton’s personal AOL email account was hacked in July 2021 by actors linked to Iran. The breach exposed the diary-style notes he had sent to family members.
Federal investigators later determined that the compromised emails contained classified national defense information.
In August, FBI agents executed search warrants at Bolton’s Bethesda home and his D.C. office.
Agents seized classified documents, electronic devices, folders labeled “Trump I–IV,” and a binder titled “Statements and Reflections to Allied Strikes.”

All of this is traceable. Let's see the recipients of those emails and who they forwarded them to.
No one is above the law.
Fauci next.
Dream on.
Proves once again that nothing says moron quite like “@aol.com.”
Bolton...
Sounds like TREASON.
Hillary had the same Problem.
Up to 10 years? Not harsh enough.
Crimes be crimes so it’s just he get his due.
I have yet to see it for Biden and Hillary though.
We are supposed to believe that this treasonous bastard was acting all on his lonesome and that he had no knowledge that in his daily worklife he was actually rubbing elbows with other treasonous bastards? He can’t name names?
Wait, Bolton was claiming this was politically motivated law are. He pleads guide? Huh, how about that.
Agree.
He plead guilty for one of two reasons IMO.
1. He was told to “or else” by a nefarious person or persons’.
Or 2. He was told if he took the fall He would be compensated at a later time.
Not everything is a Hollywood movie. The simplest reason would be that he pleaded guilty because the evidence against him is overwhelming and he’s plainly guilty.
From what I’ve seen, people that hate President Trump the way this Ahole does don’t usually admit guilt freely.
As a matter of fact this is the first time I know of.
He “faces” 100 years but I’d be surprised if he served even one. He’ll get the Sandy Berger treatment. Now that they are done with Bolton, now do Hillary Clinton and James Comey and Adam Schiff and . . . . . . .
And jojo’s corvette cache? Crickets........
Unfortunately that will never happen.
YES...I want him to spew names of traitors he worked for and with!
