PDB Afternoon Bulletin | October 17th, 2025: Bolton Indicted & Discord At The Pentagon
In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:
First—Former National Security Adviser John Bolton was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday on 18 counts over his alleged mishandling of classified materials. I’ll have the details.
Later in the show—in a surprise move, the Pentagon announced that the four-star admiral leading U.S. military forces in Latin America will step down from his post before the end of the year. The departure reportedly stems from mounting tensions with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth over the Trump administration’s approach to fighting cartels, and comes amid escalating tensions with Venezuela.
