BREAKING: FBI Raids Infamous Anti-Trump Official
Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided the DC-area home of President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, John Bolton, early in the morning on Friday. The raid is part of a high-profile national security investigation.
Federal agents paid a visit to Bolton’s house located in Bethesda, Maryland, at some time around 7 a.m. The investigation was ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, according to an official within the Trump administration.
Patel posted about the raid on his X account not long after it started, saying, “NO ONE is above the law…@FBI agents on mission,” the New York Post reported.
The article stated that the investigation is allegedly about classified documents. It was first launched several years ago; however, the Biden administration put a stop to it “for political reasons,” a senior official said.
WATCH:
Bolton’s own X account published a post at 7:32 a.m., which is around the time FBI agents were actively searching his home, slamming the president for his approach to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. It’s not known if the post was already scheduled or if he posted it as the raid was going down.
“Russia has not changed its goal: drag Ukraine into a new Russian Empire. Moscow has demanded that Ukraine cede territory it already holds and the remainder of Donetsk, which it has been unable to conquer. Zelensky will never do so. Meanwhile, meetings will continue because Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, but I don’t see these talks making any progress,” the post read.
Bolton has previously been accused of including classified information in his book, “The Room Where It Happened.” President Trump worked hard to stop the publication of the manuscript due to the inclusion of this information, saying Bolton violated a nondisclosure agreement that he signed as part of his employment within the first Trump administration.
The efforts ultimately failed.
Bolton and Trump have been on opposing sides for some time now. In fact, the former national security adviser regularly makes appearances on cable news networks where he makes critical statements about the foreign policy and national security measures implemented by the president.
Just a day ago, Patel said that former FBI Director James Comey authorized leaks of classified documents “while misleading Congress” right before the 2016 presidential election. Patel has sworn to the American people that he will work tirelessly to purge the federal government of corruption and to expose any and all cover-ups.
