Senior Department of Justice officials are pushing to charge former national security adviser John Bolton this week, sources told CNN on Thursday.
Bolton was put under a federal investigation in August for allegedly sending "highly sensitive" classified documents to his wife and daughter via a private email server while serving during the first Trump administration, according to law enforcement sources. For now, some federal prosecutors believe they might have a stronger case against Bolton if they wait until later this year, rather than bringing charges immediately.
The FBI raided Bolton's Bethesda, Maryland, home and his Washington, D.C., office last month as part of a revived probe led by FBI Director Kash Patel. Agents arrived at Bolton's residence around 7 a.m. and later entered his D.C. office after a judge signed a search warrant.
Federal investigators are determining whether Bolton, 76, sent classified information to his family while still in office prior to being dismissed in September 2019. "While Bolton was a national security adviser, he was literally stealing classified information, utilizing his family as a cutout," one senior U.S. official charged. The probe was initially opened in 2020 amid controversy over Bolton's tell-all memoir "The Room Where It Happened," but officials in the Biden administration demanded it be "shut down."
Trump, who fired Bolton after months of clashes over foreign policy, told reporters when the initial raid occurred he was not informed in advance of the raids. "I know nothing about it," Trump said at the White House. "I just saw it this morning." Trump began by labeling Bolton a "low life" but said he served his purpose in his administration. "He's not a smart guy, but he could be a very unpatriotic guy. We're going to find out."

His lawyer is Abbe Lowell. Good times for that lawyer. He seems to represent every crook in DC.
Hillary???
Charge Bolton
Indict Comey
Make Obama face justice
Arrest Letitia James
Anything. Please.
We wait for the 1st actual indictment and wait and wait...
“””We wait for the 1st actual indictment and wait and wait...””””
The democrats rushed to get indictments on Trump. How did that work out? He beat every one of them.
Better to take the time to do it right.
We have had ZERO.
"Bombshell"s and gossip are NOT JUSTICE!!
I second the motion.
Who are they pushing? Themselves? Push harder.
I’d rather see Mark Elias and a host of state election officials being indicted on 2020 election fraud charges. The fix to our system is there.
Best advice I’ve seen on FR in a while.
Too many piling on Bondi, Patel, Gabbard, about why no indictments.
Good cases take time to build.
Just as with PDJT’s early Executive Orders avalanche which buried the Left Media in too much to effectively slander, I wonder if we will not see several indictments of high democrats and Bolton in the near future so as to overwhelm the fake media.
Wonder if it’ll go before the same grand jury that just indicted Comey?
Good question.
They waited and did it right only to have the Comey case handed to a Biden hack judge. No wonder he doesn’t seem the slightest bit worried.
