Part 2/11:
The indictment comes after a prolonged investigation, including a raid on Bolton's home and office in August. Prior media reports attempted to dismiss these developments as political retribution or a "witch hunt," especially in the wake of Bolton's harsh criticisms of Trump post-termination. However, recent court records indicate the charges involve Bolton's use of an AOL email account to store and possibly distribute classified intelligence, even sharing this information with family members.
