The FBI searched John Bolton's home in Bethesda, Maryland, as part of a national security probe into his handling of classified information. Police cars were observed stationed outside the residence during the operation. The raid occurred amid several investigations of critics of President Donald Trump, contributing to fears of government retribution. FBI Director Kash Patel posted that NO ONE is above the law while noting agents were on a mission. President Trump denied prior knowledge of the search and called Bolton a real sort of a lowlife. Bolton previously served as a hawkish foreign policy adviser and has become a frequent critic who documented clashes in his memoir.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States has searched the home of John Bolton, a former national security adviser to President Donald Trump who later became a frequent critic. News outlets reported on Friday that the raid was part of a national security probe into Bolton's handling of classified information. Police cars were observed stationed outside Bolton's home in the Washington, DC, suburb of Bethesda, Maryland.
NO ONE is above the law, FBI Director Kash Patel said in a social media post on Friday that did not explicitly refer to Bolton but noted that FBI agents were on mission. Trump, meanwhile, denied having any knowledge of the raid on Bolton's home. No, I don't know about it. I saw it on television this morning, Trump told reporters, before adding: I'm not a fan of John Bolton. He's a real sort of a lowlife.
He was also considered a strong advocate for the US invasion of Iraq during the administration of former President George W Bush. Nowadays, however, he often appears on US news shows to criticise Trump and his policies. In his memoir, The Room Where It Happened, Bolton also offered a scathing assessment of his time in the Trump White House. He couldn't tell the difference between his personal interests and the country's interests, Bolton wrote of Trump.
