wife and daughter.<\/a> The alleged transmission of classified information isn\u2019t part of the charges he expects to plead guilty to.\n <\/p>\n\n Bolton, who served for one year in the first Trump administration, was originally charged with eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information.\n <\/p>\n
\n The hearing is scheduled for June 26, according to the court docket.\n <\/p>\n
\n Trump had long been long been calling for Bolton to be arrested over his 2020 memoir that was highly critical of the president, claiming Bolton should have gone to jail because classified information was contained in the book.\n <\/p>\n
\n But unlike cases against Trump\u2019s other perceived enemies, like FBI Director James Comey and the now-dismissed case against New York Attorney General Letitia James, Bolton\u2019s case has maintained the support of career prosecutors and investigators, people briefed on the matter previously told CNN.\n <\/p>\n
\n Trump\u2019s first Justice Department opened criminal and civil investigations into the book in 2020, but it was closed within a year.\n <\/p>\n
\n But the FBI opened a new inquiry into Bolton the next year, still during the Biden presidency, after his email was breached by suspected Iranian hackers, as investigators discovered \u201cdiary-like entries\u201d containing top secret information from his time as national security advisor.\n <\/p>\n
