The Department of Justice (DOJ) signaled Friday that former national security adviser John Bolton could face additional charges in his criminal case over allegedly mishandled classified documents.
Thomas Sullivan, the lead prosecutor on Bolton’s case, indicated at a hearing that “potential other charges” are a possibility as the government wades through the case material.
Bolton is accused of sending “diary-like entries” to relatives about his day-to-day work as President Trump’s adviser and keeping classified records at his home in a Maryland suburb of Washington, D.C., after leaving the position. The material must be reviewed by the intelligence community before Bolton’s attorneys can see it themselves, prosecutors said.
Abbe Lowell, an attorney for Bolton, offhandedly referenced the possibility of new charges at the hearing, saying “maybe they’ll try to bring others — I hope not.” The Hill has reached out for comment from Lowell.
