In a surprising move, the FBI raided the home of former National Security Advisor John Bolton on Friday, August 22, 2025, as part of a revived investigation into classified documents. The search was initiated under the direction of Kash Patel, the current head of the agency.
The investigation into Bolton dates back several years but was previously halted during the Biden administration, reportedly for political reasons. The inquiry centers on allegations that Bolton included classified materials in his 2020 book, raising concerns about the handling of sensitive information.
While agents conducted the search, Bolton took to social media to criticize former President Donald Trump, claiming that his ongoing negotiations with Russia regarding the war in Ukraine are misguided. Bolton suggested that Trump’s desire for a Nobel Prize would lead to no significant progress in resolving the conflict.
This raid marks a significant escalation in the ongoing scrutiny of former Trump administration officials regarding their handling of classified information. The implications of this investigation could have far-reaching effects on Bolton's reputation and future political endeavors. For more on similar situations, refer to our recent developments.
