Bolton, not charged with any crimes, served as Trump’s national security adviser for 17 months, clashing over Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea
The FBI is searching the Maryland home of John Bolton, who served in US President Donald Trump’s first administration as national security adviser but later became critical of the president, as part of an investigation into the handling of classified documents, a person familiar with the matter said on Friday.
The person was not authorised to discuss the investigation by name and spoke on the condition of anonymity. Bolton was not detained and has not been charged with any crimes, the person said.
Messages left with a spokesperson for Bolton and the White House were not immediately returned. A lawyer who has represented Bolton had no immediate comment on Friday.
