Former Trump Adviser Seeks FBI Agent Investigation Over Political Probes

President Donald Trump's administration has reportedly intensified actions against his critics, exemplified by the FBI raid on John Bolton’s Maryland home, ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, amid allegations of Bolton possessing classified documents. Bolton, a frequent Trump critic and former national security adviser, has been repeatedly targeted, including the termination of his Secret Service detail and a prior criminal investigation over a book critical of Trump, which was later dropped. Meanwhile, former White House adviser Peter Navarro is calling for a full investigation into retired FBI agent Walter Giardina, accusing him of orchestrating politically motivated operations against Trump and his allies. Navarro alleges Giardina was central to the controversial investigations into Trump, including the Steele dossier and the Mueller probe, describing Giardina as a key figure in a long-running campaign of "weaponized justice". Navarro recounts personal experiences of being arrested and humiliated under Giardina's actions and claims Giardina vouched for the now-discredited Steele dossier, which led to FBI surveillance of Trump campaign associates. These developments underscore ongoing tensions between Trump, his allies, and federal law enforcement, with accusations that investigations and raids are politically motivated retribution.
