The FBI has conducted a surprise raid on the residence of former National Security Advisor John Bolton, intensifying scrutiny over his role in undisclosed investigations tied to national security matters.
Federal agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation carried out an unannounced search at John Bolton’s home earlier today, according to sources familiar with the matter. While the Justice Department has not publicly clarified the purpose of the operation, officials confirmed it is connected to an ongoing probe involving sensitive national security issues.
Bolton, who served as national security advisor under former President Donald Trump from 2018 to 2019, has previously clashed with multiple administrations over foreign policy and intelligence disclosures. His attorneys have not issued an immediate statement, but individuals close to him describe the move as “extraordinary” and suggest it may relate to classified material or sensitive communications.
The raid marks a significant development in what appears to be a widening justice department inquiry into the handling of government secrets. Analysts note that the action taken against such a high-profile former official points to the seriousness of the investigation.
Authorities have indicated further updates will be provided as legal proceedings unfold.
