WASHINGTON — John Bolton, who served as Donald Trump's national security adviser before becoming a vocal critic of the president, has been criminally indicted on federal charges.The Department of Justice presented a case to a grand jury in Maryland on Thursday, and they agreed there was enough evidence to indict Bolton, who issued a statement maintaining his innocence.It comes after FBI agents searched Bolton's home and office in August as part of an investigation into the handling of classified information.The indictment makes Bolton, 76, the third of the US president's political opponents to face charges in recent weeks.

Venezuelan fishermen in fear after US strikes on boats in the Caribbean
CARACAS — Wilder Fernández has caught four good-sized fish in the murky waters of a small bay north of Lake Maracaibo.The contents of his net will serve as dinner for his small team before they set out to go fishing again in the evening.But this daily task is a job he has recently become scared of doing.After 13 years as a fisherman, Mr Fernández confesses that he now fears his job could turn lethal.He is afraid he could die in these waters not at the hands of a night-time attacker — a threat fishermen like him encountered in the past — but rather, killed in a strike launched by a foreign power."It's crazy, man," he says of the deployment of US warships, fighter jets, a submarine and thousands of US troops in waters north of Venezuela's coast.The US force patrolling in...
