FBI agents exit John Bolton's office with boxes in raid
JD Vance denied that Friday's FBI raid on John Bolton's home was related to the former national security adviser's vocal criticism of President Donald Trump.
- FBI agents entered Bolton's Bethesda, Maryland home at 7 a.m. Friday, as part of a classified records probe.
- Bolton has not been detained or charged, according to sources familiar with the matter.
- FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X shortly after the raid: "NO ONE is above the law... @FBI agents on mission".
- Bolton served as Trump's national security adviser for 17 months and later became a vocal critic of the president.
- He previously faced scrutiny over his 2020 memoir, which officials alleged contained classified material; the Justice Department dropped its lawsuit in 2021.
- Trump revoked Bolton's security clearance and protection earlier this year upon returning to office.
Remember, Mr. Bolton is the one who said to get a search order they have to appear before and independent judge and present credible evidence or suspicion of a crime.
While Bolton didn’t spell out the legal criteria in that quote, his remarks imply support for the standard procedure: that a search warrant must be based on probable cause, supported by sworn affidavits, and authorized by a judge.
