John Bolton Charged in Probe of Classified Information

“Former Trump administration national security adviser John Bolton was charged Thursday in a federal investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information,” the AP reports.

“The 18-count indictment sets the stage for a closely watched court case centering on a longtime fixture in Republican foreign policy circles who became known for his hawkish views on American power and who after leaving Trump’s first government emerged as a prominent and vocal critic of the president.”

President Trump commented to reporters: “I did not know that… He’s a bad person. He’s a bad guy. Too bad. That’s the way it goes.”
