An FBI raid on the home of ex-National Security Advisor John Bolton was reportedly linked to allegations he used a private email server to send sensitive documents to his family.
Bolton, who has since turned against Donald Trump after being fired from the White House in his first term, was home at the time of the 7:00 a.m. raid on his D.C.-area house, according to a source familiar.
A senior US official told the New York Post that the raid - ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel - was part of the revival into an investigation into Bolton sending private national security documents to his wife and daughter from his work account.
He allegedly did this just before Trump fired him in September 2019. The probe continued after Trump left office but was paused by the Biden administration.
A senior US official told the Post that Bolton 'was literally stealing classified information, utilizing his family as a cutout' while he still worked there.
