Federal prosecutors in Maryland are planning to ask a grand jury to indict John Bolton, President Donald Trump's former advisor, for allegedly mishandling classified documents.
According to reports, the indictment may be sought on Thursday. This development comes after an FBI raid on Bolton's office on August 22, where agents found a collection of documents related to sensitive topics such as weapons of mass destruction and the US mission to the United Nations.
Bolton served as National Security Adviser during Trump's first term from 2018 to 2019. The potential indictment is part of a broader trend of retribution by Trump.
No comment from the parties involved has been released.
