Bolton’s home reportedly part of investigation into classified documents as FBI director warns ‘no one is above law’

The FBI raided the home of Donald Trump’s former national security adviser turned critic John Bolton on Friday morning, according to reports.

The federal search of Bolton’s house in the Washington DC area was as part of an investigation involving the handling of classified documents, the Associated Press reported, citing an unnamed source.

FBI director Kash Patel posted a cryptic message on X on Friday morning, saying: “NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission.”

The raid began around 7am ET and was first reported by the New York Post. CNN also reported the news, saying its reporters had observed FBI officers near Bolton’s residence in Maryland and further reporting that Bolton, when reached, said he was not aware of the law enforcement activity.
