"The latest: The raid on Bolton's home was part of a national security probe into classified information, according to the New York Post, which first reported the news. What they're saying "Not a fan, he's sort of a lowlife," Trump told the White House press pool about the Bolton raid. "He's a very quiet person, except on television if he can say something bad about Trump. Not a smart guy, could be a very unpatriotic guy. We're going to find out.""
"Context: Bolton was highly critical of Trump during the president's first term and has continued to scold the president on social media and in interviews during Trump 2.0. In fact, on Friday morning, before news broke of the FBI raid, Bolton shared skepticism in an X post about Russia-Ukraine peace talks. "Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, but I don't see these talks making any progress," he wrote."
"Flashback: Bolton, seen as a Republican foreign policy hawk, was highly supportive of Trump during Fox News interviews as Trump took office the first time. Bolton appeared to support the president's foreign policy plans, with some seeing him as a good match for the president.

The FBI executed a raid on John Bolton's home as part of a national security probe into classified information. President Trump responded by harshly criticizing Bolton, calling him "sort of a lowlife," accusing him of being unpatriotic and saying "we're going to find out." Bolton has been publicly critical of Trump throughout and posted skepticism about Russia-Ukraine peace talks shortly before the raid. Bolton served as national security adviser beginning in March 2018 after a career that included serving as U.S. ambassador to the U.N. He influenced key policies, including withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal and a "maximum pressure" campaign on Iran, and saw allies like Mira Ricardel ousted amid internal tensions.
