In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First—it appears John Bolton could be in deeper legal trouble than previously known. We are learning that the probe into his alleged mishandling of classified information actually intensified under the Biden administration, when intelligence emerged suggesting unsecured emails sent by Bolton containing national security secrets ended up in the hands of an adversarial foreign spy service. Later in the show—Chinese President Xi Jinping is preparing for a massive military parade next week to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Japan’s World War II surrender, with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin set to attend. We’ll discuss the broader implications of this high profile gathering of the east’s major authoritarian powers.
