John Bolton Gizli Bilgi Davasında Suçunu Kabul Edecek
Eski ABD Ulusal Güvenlik Danışmanı John Bolton, hassas ulusal güvenlik bilgilerini izinsiz olarak sakladığı gerekçesiyle yöneltilen suçlamaları kabul etmeye hazırlanıyor. The Guardian'ın haberine göre Bolton, yaptığı anlaşma kapsamında 2,25 milyon dolar para cezası ödeyecek. Bolton, Trump yönetiminde 2018-2019 yılları arasında ulusal güvenlik danışmanı olarak görev yapmış, daha sonra anılarını yayımlamış ve eski başkana yönelik eleştirileriyle gündeme gelmişti. Gizli bilgileri usulsüz muhafaza etme suçlaması, eski üst düzey yetkililerin görevden ayrıldıktan sonra hassas belgelere erişimi ve bu belgeleri koruma yükümlülükleri konusundaki tartışmaları yeniden alevlendirdi. Bu gelişme, Trump'ın kendisi hakkındaki gizli belge soruşturmalarının yanı sıra, ABD'de ulusal güvenlik protokollerinin ihlaline yönelik artan yargısal süreçlerin bir parçası olarak değerlendiriliyor. Bolton'un suçunu kabul etmesi, benzer konumdaki diğer eski yetkililer için emsal teşkil edebilir.

Ex-Trump adviser John Bolton expected to plead guilty in classified information case – US politics live
Bolton to plead guilty charges that he unlawfully retained sensitive national security information in agreement that includes $2.25m fine Sign up for the Breaking News US email The decades-long prison sentences for a group of Texas activists convicted of terrorism and other charges in connection to a Fourth of July protest last year has caused widespread alarm, given their unusually punitive length and for the apparent harsh criminalization of protest activity under Donald Trump’s justice department. Eight people who participated in a protest at the Prairieland ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, were sentenced on Tuesday to between 50 and 100 years in prison. A ninth person, Daniel Sanchez-Estrada, the husband of one of the demonstrators, did not participate in the protest, but was sentenced to 30 years in prison after he was convicted of moving boxes containing leftwing zines and other materials after a prison phone call from his wife. [The zines Sanchez-Estrada was punished for moving are] no different from the pro-Revolution pamphlets this country’s founders had in mind when they drafted the first amendment’s press clause. Sanchez’s case is the latest example of the Trump administration grasping at any legal straws it can to criminalize disfavored ideologies and writings, from conflating dissent with terrorism to deporting immigrants who report on protests or criticize wars the US bankrolls.

Trump adviser-turned-critic John Bolton pleads guilty to mishandling classified documents
John Bolton, a former national security adviser for United States President Donald Trump who has since become one of his fiercest critics, pleaded guilty in federal court on Friday to mishandling classified information and faces up to five years in prison. “I’m sorry for it,” Bolton told US District Judge Theodore D. Chuang during the hearing. Reuters previously reported that Bolton would plead guilty under a deal with prosecutors that included a sentencing range from no prison time to as many as five years behind bars, with the final sentence to be determined by a judge. As part of the agreement, Bolton agreed to pay a $2.25 million fine. Bolton, 77, must make half that payment within five days of sentencing and the full payment within 90 days of sentencing. He also committed to up to 100 hours of community service and to meet with intelligence and Justice Department officials for a debriefing. Bolton will also forfeit his government pension. Chuang scheduled sentencing for October 28. Bolton is accused of sharing sensitive information with two relatives for possible use in a memoir he was writing, including notes on intelligence briefings and meetings with senior government officials and foreign leaders. Prosecutors said he shared more than 1,000 pages in the form of diary entries. He pleaded not guilty to 18 criminal charges last year. The book detailed Bolton’s tenure as Trump’s national security adviser during his first term. In the book, Bolton described the president as unfit for office, sparking a public feud. But prosecutors said on Friday that no classified information was published in Bolton’s book, The Room Where It Happened. Authorities said Bolton’s personal email was hacked by someone believed to be linked to Iran, which prosecutors reiterated on Friday. Kelly O. Hayes, the US attorney for the district of Maryland, told reporters after the hearing that that was exactly why it was dangerous to share classified information on personal accounts. “He put our national security at grave risk,” she said of Bolton. Bolton, who served as national security adviser during Trump’s first term in office, is one of several notable political opponents who have faced prosecution from Trump’s Justice Department, erasing longstanding norms that had separated law enforcement efforts from partisan considerations. But unlike other cases brought against Trump critics, the Bolton investigation began before Trump returned to office in 2025 and had the backing of career federal prosecutors.
