FBI Raids John Bolton's Home in Classified Documents Probe
Newsmax ^ | August 22, 2025 | Eric Mack quoting the AP

Posted on 08/22/2025 7:52:33 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

FBI agents raided the home of former national security adviser John Bolton early Friday as part of a high-profile national security investigation.

A source confirmed to Newsmax that the investigation is focused on the handling of classified documents and national security secrets.

The raid began around 7 a.m. ET at Bolton's residence in Bethesda, Maryland, and was ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel.

FBI Director Kash Patel, who in a 2023 book he wrote included Bolton in a list of "members of the Executive Branch Deep State," posted on X: "NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission."

Attorney General Pam Bondi shared his post, adding: "America's safety isn't negotiable. Justice will be pursued. Always."

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino also shared his post, writing on X: "Public corruption will not be tolerated."

The FBI searched the Maryland home and Washington office of Bolton, who served in President Donald Trump's first administration as national security adviser but later became critical of the president, as part of an investigation into the handling of classified information, a person familiar with the matter said Friday.

Bolton was not detained and has not been charged with any crimes, said the person, who was not authorized to discuss the investigation by name and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.

After the search at Bolton's home started, he was spotted Friday morning standing in the lobby of the Washington building where he keeps an office and talking to two people with "FBI" visible on their vests. He left a few minutes later and appeared to have gone upstairs in the building. Agents were seen taking bags into the office building through a back entrance.

The raid should have been at 03:00 and the front door should have been knocked fifteen feet inside the house to announce the raid.

Bolton’s hairstyle with the part went out of style circa 1958. I think I had the same thing when I was 6 years old.
