**FBI Raids John Bolton's Residence Amid Classified Documents Probe**

The FBI's recent search of John Bolton's home and office raises questions about classified information and political motivations.

FBI agents executed a search at the residence and office of John Bolton, who served as Donald Trump’s national security adviser before becoming a critic of his administration. This operation, carried out on Friday, appears linked to an inquiry regarding the handling of classified materials. Since resigning in 2019, Bolton has publicly condemned Trump, particularly criticizing the management of classified information in his memoir, *The Room Where it Happened*.

Though the FBI has yet to divulge specifics about the investigation, sources indicate that it revolves around classified documents. So far, no charges have been filed against Bolton, nor has he made any public statements about the ongoing investigation. Trump, when questioned about it, dismissed any involvement and labeled Bolton a "sleazebag," revealing his continued animosity towards the former adviser.

Vice President JD Vance commented on the investigation, emphasizing that it is not politically motivated and that charges will only follow if Bolton is found to have broken the law. Meanwhile, Bolton's home in Bethesda, Maryland, was reportedly busy with FBI personnel seen transporting boxes. The FBI confirmed their presence in the area as part of "authorised activity."

Bolton’s prior memoir, which extensively criticized Trump, had led to a lawsuit from the Justice Department over alleged breaches involving classified information, though that suit was dropped under the Biden administration. Bolton has also questioned U.S. involvement in international conflicts, further deepening divisions with Trump and his supporters, who have also faced investigations since Trump’s return to power.
