Michael Cohen Advises John Bolton to Lawyer Up Amid DOJ Investigation
Former Trump fixer Michael Cohen has weighed in on the Department of Justice’s investigation into John Bolton, advising the former National Security Advisor to “lawyer up” in light of recent developments.
Cohen, who himself faced legal troubles following a raid by the FBI in 2018, believes that Bolton may soon face indictment as a result of the ongoing probe into his 2020 book, “The Room Where It Happened,” which details his time in the Trump administration.
The DOJ initially launched an investigation into Bolton in 2020 over concerns of classified information in his book, but the probe was ended under President Joe Biden the following year. However, recent reports indicate that the investigation has been resumed, raising the stakes for Bolton.
During an appearance on MSNBC, Cohen expressed confidence that Bolton will be indicted, citing the renewed scrutiny from the DOJ. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance dismissed claims of political retribution against Bolton, who has been a vocal critic of Trump.
Trump himself claimed to be unaware of the raid on Bolton, deferring to the DOJ to handle the situation. Cohen, however, suggested that the move was part of Trump’s ongoing efforts to target his perceived enemies, adding Bolton to a growing list of individuals facing legal scrutiny.
As the investigation unfolds, Bolton may face mounting legal challenges, prompting Cohen to caution him to seek legal counsel to navigate the potential fallout. The implications of the DOJ’s renewed interest in Bolton’s book remain to be seen, but the specter of indictment looms large over the former National Security Advisor.
