Federal agents conducted a search of John Bolton's Washington DC-area residence early Friday as part of an investigation into the handling of classified material. A government source confirmed the raid but provided no specific allegations or details about the federal court warrant authorizing the search. FBI director Kash Patel posted on X: NO ONE is above the law @FBI agents on mission, a message reposted by JD Vance and Dan Bongino, with Bongino adding Public corruption will not be tolerated. Bolton was not at home during the raid and was later seen in a Washington building lobby speaking with people while individuals wearing FBI vests stood nearby. Bolton served 17 months as national security adviser and previously clashed with Trump over Iran, Afghanistan and North Korea; the Trump administration had tried to block publication of his book on claims of classified content.
