If indicted, Bolton would be among the most senior former national security officials in U.S.
As then-NSC Director Ellen Knight wrote in a letter to Bolton's attorneys, quote, as written, the manuscript is very detailed, suggesting it was likely produced from notes written during his service.
It first surfaced in 2019 when Bolton assured the White House that he had no government records following his dismissal.
But still, even if he didn't deliberately share restricted information, prosecutors argue Bolton could still face charges for leaving classified materials unsecured or accessible to unauthorized individuals.
Sources close to the probe say Bolton's meticulous note-taking and the accesses aides had to those records remain key focus points in potential charges.
Federal investigators were ordered to search for malware or any tools that could have compromised Bolton's devices, though it's unclear what they found.
But federal warrants unsealed last month revealed that an unidentified foreign actor had breached Bolton's account, an intrusion that intelligence officials now believe may trace back to Iran.
