WASHINGTON (PNN) - August 27, 2025 - President Donald J. Trump’s former National Security Advisor John Bolton transmitted classified emails over a private server system, and they were intercepted by a hostile foreign country’s spy service, according to a leak to The New York Times.
As reported last week, John Bolton is under investigation for violating the Espionage Act.
“The investigation into whether John Bolton, President Trump’s former national security adviser, mishandled classified information is trying to determine if he violated certain sections of the Espionage Act, which makes it a crime to illegally retain or transmit national defense information, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details of the case,” The New York Times reported.
The FBI raided the home of Trump’s former National Security Advisor, John Bolton, last Friday morning.
FBI agents were sent to Bolton’s home because he allegedly sent “highly sensitive” classified materials to family members from a private, unsecured email server while he was working at the White House during the first Trump regime.
“Investigators reopened a dormant probe into Bolton’s alleged use of a private email to send classified national security documents to his wife and daughter from his work desk before his dismissal by Trump in September 2019, according to a senior (Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA)) official,” the New York Post reported last week.
The illegitimate fascist pretender Joe Biden regime halted the investigation into Bolton, but FBI Director Kash Patel revived it and ordered the raid on the former national security advisor’s home.
John Bolton has not been arrested or charged with any crimes (yet).
The Times on Wednesday reported that the FPSA government actually discovered Bolton’s classified emails while gathering information from an “adversarial country’s spy service.”
The investigation of Bolton, who has become an ardent critic of the president, burst back into public view last week when federal agents searched his Maryland home and Washington office.
New details of the case present a more complex chain of events. The disclosures suggest that a long-running investigation into Bolton’s activities changed over time, with some of the issues echoing past inquiries into the handling of national security secrets.
The emails in question were reportedly sent by Bolton and included information that appeared to derive from classified documents he had seen while he was national security adviser. Bolton apparently sent the messages to people close to him who were helping him gather material that he would ultimately use his 2020 memoir, The Room Where It Happened.
