Bolton’s home and office were raided earlier this year. Authorities found evidence the former Trump advisor retained secret documents from his time in the government.
A grand jury delivered an 18-count indictment on Thursday against former national security advisor and Trump critic John Bolton, who has been accused of unlawfully handling classified documents.
The grand jury indictment charged Bolton with 18 felonies, including 10 counts of illegal retention of national defense information. He was also charged with eight counts of transmitting national defense information.
“There is one tier of justice for all Americans,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. “Anyone who abuses a position of power and jeopardizes our national security will be held accountable. No one is above the law.”
The federal grand jury convened Wednesday to consider charges against the longtime national security figure two months after the FBI raided his Maryland home and found “highly sensitive national security” information.
The search warrant for Bolton’s home, dated Aug. 22, showed there were "travel memo documents with pages labeled secret," as well as "confidential" documents regarding "U.S. Mission to the United Nations," "U.S. Government Strategic Communications Plan," and weapons of mass destruction.

The FBI also searched Bolton’s Washington, D.C. office.
The Justice Department has also accused Bolton of using a private email account to send classified information and record notes of his daily activities and assessments during his time as President Trump’s first-term national security advisor.
Bolton was one of several national security advisors for Trump, but was eventually fired and became a critic of the current president.

That’s what he gets for cultivating that ridiculous mustache.
Johnny Bolton, should Pam Bondi cut you a big piece of this
Humble Pie?
but but but I thought we would never get grand juries to side with our cases!!??? What could possibly be happening here!!!??
/s...
Should have indicted his stupid looking mustache too.
He might beat the rap, but he won’t beat the ride.
I am thinking the Democrats now are wishing they never opened that Pandora box. Going after President Trump once he was out of office was stupid, or perhaps just their own hubris thinking they could take him out and stay in power forever.
I just can’t help thinking, Hillary Clinton did much worse than this, and yet she still walks free. Not saying he shouldn’t be prosecuted. I’m saying, why isn’t Hillary ever going to be prosecuted?
we will be watching to see him squirm and weep when he’s sentenced to 10 pulse years in a federal prison.
Here’s hoping his sphincter gives way from the realization of having to liquidate his worth to pay for his unsuccessful legal defense.
Welcome to the party, ‘pal’.
Now you know how WE have felt watching our people wrongfully being frogmarched to prison after being bankrupted by YOUR people.
Good to see the "wheels of justice" beginning to grind. Hopefully that continues, and accelerates until all the leftist/globalist/RINO scum are ground into dust, stripped of their wealth and selling pencils on street corners.
