"AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais Former National Security Adviser John Bolton fired back after he was indicted Thursday, vowing to fight the charges and expose President Donald Trump's abuse of power. Bolton served during Trump's first term, leaving in September 2019 and evolving into a fierce critic of his former boss winning him praise from Democrats and Never Trump Republicans but putting him in the president's crosshairs, especially after Trump won re-election and with it, access to government power again."
"In August, the FBI raided Bolton's home, reportedly related to a national security investigation into classified documents and notes he sent himself on an AOL email account while he was working for the Trump administration. Thursday, a Maryland grand jury returned an indictment against Bolton, charging him with eight counts of transmission of national defense information and ten counts of retention of national defense information."
