John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, is facing criminal charges as soon as next week, MSNBC investigative journalist Carol Leonnig reported Friday afternoon while on air.
The acting U.S. attorney in Maryland is moving forward with the charges, Leonnig reported, citing two people familiar with the case.
The case has been before a grand jury for several weeks investigating whether Bolton improperly possessed classified national security information in his Maryland home.
Bolton was fired by Trump during his first administration and has been a frequent critic of the president.
The FBI conducted a surprise raid of Bolton’s home in Bethesda, Maryland, on Sept. 22 in what was reported as a search for suspected classified records based on information from the CIA and approved by a federal judge.
