FBI Investigates Former National Security Adviser John Bolton Over Classified Documents

The FBI has launched an investigation into former national security adviser John Bolton, focusing on his handling of classified documents, with agents conducting a search of his Maryland home. Vice President JD Vance confirmed the investigation is in its early stages, emphasizing that any prosecution would depend strictly on whether Bolton broke the law and denying that the probe is politically motivated or retribution from President Donald Trump's administration. Vance stressed that the Department of Justice is committed to letting the law guide decisions and not targeting individuals for political disagreements. Bolton, who clashed with Trump on several foreign policy issues during his tenure, has not been detained, and details of the investigation remain limited. Critics have suggested the raid may be retaliation for Bolton's vocal criticism of Trump, but administration officials have rejected these claims, framing the inquiry as a legitimate legal matter. The investigation reflects broader concerns about classified material handling, continuing scrutiny over former officials' document management.
