MSNBC reports that an indictment against John Bolton could arrive as early as next week. Two people close to the situation, speaking anonymously to the broadcaster, said that a grand jury in Maryland has been hearing evidence for several weeks relating to claims that Bolton kept classified national security information at his home. The sources said the pace of the case against Bolton has sped up recently.

Bolton's potential indictment would make him the third of Trump's enemies to face criminal charges in just a matter of weeks. Both former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James have also been indicted on criminal charges. Trump fired Bolton during his first administration and Bolton has been a vocal critic of Trump's leadership ever since. The sources told MSNBC that prosecutors in Virginia and New York are hesitant to bring cases against Comey and James, respectively, but prosecutors in Maryland reportedly believe the charges being brought against Bolton may actually be based in fact.
