FBI Raids Former National Security Adviser John Bolton's Home in Classified Documents Probe

FBI agents conducted a court-authorized raid at the home of John Bolton, former National Security Advisor under President Donald Trump, in Bethesda, Maryland, as part of a national security investigation linked to classified documents. The investigation, reportedly ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, who emphasized that 'no one is above the law,' was initially launched years ago but later paused by the Biden administration. Bolton had previously faced scrutiny over classified information allegedly included in his 2020 memoir, which had prompted a Justice Department inquiry during the Trump administration. The raid coincides with Patel's efforts to address alleged corruption and cover-ups within the federal government, including previous claims against former FBI Director James Comey. Bolton, who has since become a vocal critic of President Trump’s policies, stated he was unaware of the FBI activity and was seeking more information. This event underscores ongoing federal scrutiny of national security matters involving former Trump administration officials.
