Former Trump administration national security adviser John Bolton has been charged with storing top secret records at home and sharing with relatives notes that contained classified information. The 18-count indictment Thursday also suggests classified information was exposed when operatives believed to be linked to the Iranian regime hacked Bolton’s email account in 2021 and gained access to sensitive material he had shared. The investigation into Bolton, who served for more than a year in President Donald Trump’s administration before being fired in 2019 and emerging as an outspoken critic of the Republican leader, burst into public view in August when the FBI searched his home in Maryland and his office in Washington.
