WASHINGTON – As part of a national security probe ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, agents searched Bolton’s home. Bolton served under President Donald Trump during his first term and has since become a vocal critic of the administration’s foreign policy, calling the president unfit for service. Trump previously revoked Bolton’s security detail and security clearance following policy disagreements.
FBI agents conducted the search as directed by Patel, who stated on social media, “NO ONE is above the law.” Bolton did not mention the search in a social media post but expressed his skepticism about progress in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.
Andrew McCabe, a former deputy director of the FBI, told CNN that the search was “really stunning” and should be examined closely. He highlighted the fraught relationship between Trump and Bolton, noting the president’s history of using his power to target individuals he dislikes, including through the Department of Justice.
