FBI raids John Bolton’s home in a high-profile national security investigation.
The New York Post is exclusively reporting that the FBI is searching the home and office of John Bolton, in what is being called a « high-profile national security probe. »
The raid allegedly involves classified documents. Bolton is not currently under arrest, and has not been charged with anything. A source within the FBI told the New York Times that they are “conducting court-authorized activity.”
Bolton, 76, served as President Trump’s national security adviser from 2018 to 2019. He later went on to become one of Trump’s harshest critics.
Trump pulled Bolton’s security clearance back in January 2025, and yanked his Secret Service protection one day later.
« We’re not gonna have security on people for the rest of their lives. Why should we? » Trump declared. « I thought he [Bolton] was a very dumb person, but I used him well. »
“Every time people saw me come into a meeting with John Bolton standing behind me, they thought that he’d attack them because he was a warmonger.”
FBI Director Kash Patel ordered the 7 a.m. raid on Bolton’s Bethesda, Md.
