Former National Security Advisor John Bolton has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of mishandling classified information. Bolton entered his plea during his initial court appearance in Maryland. Here's NPR's Ryan Lucas.
Bolton is facing 18 criminal counts for allegedly transmitting and retaining national defense information. Prosecutors say Bolton kept detailed notes that included classified information during his time as Trump's National Security Advisor in 2018 and 2019.
Bolton allegedly sent those diary-like entries on a regular basis over his personal email and a messaging app to two family members who did not have security clearances. The indictment says federal agents recovered copies of some of those documents, including classified material, during his search of Bolton's home in August.
Bolton says in a statement that he looks forward to defending what he calls his, quote, lawful conduct and exposing what he says is Trump's abuse of power. Ryan Lucas, NPR News, Washington.
