Liberals are in full meltdown mode after the FBI raided the home and office of John Bolton, the hawkish former national security adviser to President Donald Trump, as part of a bombshell probe into mishandled classified documents.
The New York Post, which first broke the news on Friday, reported that the searches mark a high-profile escalation in investigations tied to sensitive materials, thrusting Bolton—infamous for pushing regime change policies—back into the spotlight. Bolton served under Trump for 18 months before his fiery dismissal in September 2019, after which Trump branded him a “nutjob,” “loser,” and “very dumb person,” calling the hire one of his “biggest mistakes.”
Rt.com reports: Trump has said that he knew nothing about the raids and only learned of them from television news.

Reports say FBI agents searched Bolton’s home in Bethesda, Maryland, and his Washington, DC, office early on Friday. Footage circulating online showed agents in what appears to be his front yard and outside his office, loading items into vehicles. Bolton was reportedly seen in his office lobby speaking with two individuals wearing FBI vests.

The investigation reportedly centers on whether Bolton still possesses classified documents from histime in office, particularly those linked to his 2020 memoir, The Room Where It Happened. The US Justice Department (DOJ) under Trump tried to block the book’s publication, claiming it contained classified material. A federal judge eventually allowed its release, and the Biden DOJ dropped both the criminal and civil cases in June 2021.
Bolton has not been detained and has not yet been charged, according to reports, and neither his spokesperson nor the White House reportedly have commented.
While the DOJ has not issued an official statement, Attorney General Pam Bondi posted on X early on Friday: “America’s safety isn’t negotiable. Justice will be pursued. Always.” She was responding to FBI Director Kash Patel’s cryptic message: “NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission.” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino also reposted Patel’s comment, adding, “Public corruption will not be tolerated.” Patel previously listed Bolton as part of the US “Deep State” in his 2023 book.
Bolton has frequently clashed with Trump over foreign policy. On his first day back in office this year, Trump revoked the security clearances of over 40 ex-intelligence officials, including Bolton, and stripped him of his security detail.
