John Bolton's Maryland home was raided by the FBI, and agents removed boxes while officials have not confirmed the precise reason for the search. Vice President JD Vance said classified documents are likely part of the inquiry and described a broader governmental concern about Bolton. Vance said the FBI will investigate and asserted that if no crime is found there will be no prosecution, but if a crime exists Bolton will face court. Critics connected the raid to Bolton's vocal criticism of President Trump on foreign policy. Vance denied that the action is political retribution and defended the Justice Department's impartiality.
I'll let the FBI speak to that. Classified documents are certainly part of it, but I think that there's a broad concern about Ambassador Bolton. They're going to look into it. And, like I said, if there's no crime here, we're not going to prosecute it. If there is a crime here, of course Ambassador Bolton will get his day in court, Vance said.
Bolton's Maryland home was raided by the FBI on Friday morning. Agents were seen carrying boxes out of the home, but the exact reason for the search has not been officially confirmed. Critics of Trump have quickly tied the raid to Bolton's vocal criticism of Trump, especially on foreign policy matters like Russia and Ukraine. The two have long been critical of each other since Bolton served as Trump's national security advisor for a time in his first term.
