FBI agents raided John Bolton's Maryland home at 7 a.m., searching for classified documents under an investigation ordered by Kash Patel, the FBI director. Patel posted on X, "NO ONE is above the law... @FBI agents on mission." Bolton served as national security advisor from 2018 to 2019 and left the White House amid tensions with President Trump. The Justice Department opened a criminal investigation in 2020 into Bolton's handling of classified information but closed it a year later under President Joe Biden. Bolton is a longtime foreign-policy hawk, a frequent media commentator, and a vocal critic of Trump. Patel described Bolton as part of the "Executive Branch Deep State" in a 2023 book.
