FBI Raids John Bolton Home in Classified Documents Investigation

Federal agents raided former National Security Advisor John Bolton's home as part of an investigation into allegations that he improperly handled classified materials, including possibly transmitting sensitive documents via a private email server and publishing his memoir without full government approval. The raid, reportedly ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, reflects concerns over Bolton's 2020 book, "The Room Where It Happened," which contains references to national security matters and may not have received proper clearance. Michael Cohen, former attorney to President Donald Trump, advised Bolton to "lawyer up," predicting an indictment and comparing Bolton's situation to his own legal troubles. Legal analyst Gregg Jarrett emphasized that Bolton faces serious jeopardy not only for the book but also for potentially mishandling classified information. President Trump, who had previously criticized Bolton and called for his imprisonment over the book, distanced himself from the raid, stating he was unaware of it and that the DOJ should handle the matter. The unfolding investigation signals a significant escalation in legal actions linked to Bolton's handling of classified information during his tenure in the Trump administration.
