• Charges: John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, has been indicted. He faces eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information.
• Details of the probe: Sources previously told CNN that part of the Justice Department’s investigation centers around notes he was making to himself in an AOL email account — at times writing summaries of his activities like diary entries — when he was working for Trump.
• More on his career: Bolton, a longtime government official and United Nations ambassador with a high-level security clearance, served in the first Trump administration as national security adviser from 2018 to 2019.
