Bolton: Trump doesn’t know his right hand from his left hand.
A federal grand jury in Maryland has announced that the evidence presented is sufficient to issue an indictment and begin a trial against former national security adviser Donald Trump.
This came after FBI agents searched John Bolton’s home and office in August in connection with an investigation into how classified documents were stored.
It is worth noting that after this incident, he is the third political rival of the US president to face legal charges in recent weeks. Former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, whom Donald Trump has repeatedly publicly criticized, have also faced legal cases.
The indictment states: The documents in question contain information about officials of a foreign enemy, as well as information about sources and methods of gathering information to obtain statements from a foreign enemy.
If John Bolton is found guilty in court, he could face up to 10 years in prison on each charge.
