Former Trump Adviser John Bolton Faces Court Over Alleged Mishandling of Classified Documents
John Bolton, former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, is set to appear in court on charges related to the alleged mishandling of classified documents, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The case, which has drawn significant attention, centers on accusations that Bolton improperly handled sensitive government materials.
The charges stem from an investigation into Bolton’s actions during and after his tenure in the Trump administration, where he served as national security adviser from 2018 to 2019.
Prosecutors allege that Bolton mishandled classified information, though specific details of the accusations have not been fully disclosed in public filings.
Bolton, a prominent figure in Republican foreign policy circles, has denied any wrongdoing.
His legal team argues that the charges are politically motivated and lack merit.
The case is expected to explore complex issues surrounding the handling of classified materials by high-ranking officials and could set significant legal precedents.
The court appearance marks a new chapter in Bolton’s contentious relationship with the Trump administration, which ended with his departure in 2019 amid disagreements over foreign policy.
Bolton later published a memoir, The Room Where It Happened, which detailed his time in the White House and sparked further controversy.
As the case unfolds, it is likely to reignite debates over national security, government transparency, and the legal responsibilities of former officials.
Bolton’s court date has not been publicly specified, but the proceedings are expected to draw widespread scrutiny.
