John Bolton indicted on charges of mishandling classified information

A federal grand jury indicted former Trump national security adviser John Bolton Thursday on 18 counts of illegally hoarding or sending sensitive national security information — leaving the longtime pillar of the Republican foreign policy establishment facing decades in prison.

The indictment in Greenbelt, Md. federal court alleges that Bolton sent sensitive national security documents through a personal AOL email account and knowingly transmitted materials to outside contacts while serving in the first Trump administration. 

Bolton, 76, served as President Trump’s national security adviser from April 2018 until his firing in September 2019. Upon leaving office, he pledged he did not have any classified documents or notes in his possession.

However, those communications — some of which stayed on his AOL account — were exposed to bad actors when a foreign entity hacked Bolton’s email, according to a probable cause warrant unsealed last month.

Lindsey Graham vows to force vote putting Dems on record over Trump’s Gaza peace plan

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) wants his Democratic colleagues to make clear where they stand on President Trump’s

Graham, 66, will introduce a resolution next week expressing that the Senate “supports President Donald J. Trump’s 20-point Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, which has been approved by both Israel and Hamas and endorsed by regional Arab and Muslim partners and allies.”

The measure also “calls upon all parties to continue to work to implement the 20-point Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict.”

“I think it would be enormously beneficial for the Senate to speak with one voice in favor of President Trump’s 20-Point Peace Plan for the Middle East,” Graham told The Post Wednesday.

“The plan has been approved by Israel and endorsed by all major Arab nations. A strong bipartisan vote from the US Senate will only help its success.”
