The FBI has searched the home and office of Donald Trump‘s former national security adviser, John Bolton. This action is a major escalation in the federal government’s examination of how he managed classified information. While public attention has mostly focused on his controversial memoir, called The Room Where It Happened, Fox News claims that a source told the outlet that the investigation now goes far beyond that one publication.
This has increased speculation that Bolton could be facing criminal charges. Bolton’s greatest legal risk may come from the early drafts of his book. A well-known national security attorney has said that Bolton could be in legal danger if he kept copies of the first versions of his manuscript.
