Gregg Jarrett Predicts What John Bolton Did That Could Put Him in Legal Peril

Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett predicted Friday on Fox Business that former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s decision to publish a tell-all memoir without full government approval could land him in serious legal trouble.

Federal agents raided Bolton’s Maryland home Friday morning after FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly ordered the operation as part of a national security investigation. In an appearance on “The Evening Edit,” Jarrett said Bolton’s legal peril extends beyond his book. Federal agents, he said, likely had probable cause to believe he either improperly stored classified documents or shared sensitive information with unauthorized individuals.

“So even if a sanitized version of his book was released, he’s still in jeopardy in two other ways. Because if he kept classified documents in his home or in his office, that’s a crime. And if he leaked information that he had in his head to somebody who was unauthorized, that also is a crime,” Jarrett said. “So it looks like they convinced a judge, based on probable cause, that a crime might have been committed. And evidence of that crime was inside either his office or a home, to issue today’s search warrant.”
