The FBI's raid on the former U.S. National Security Advisor Bolton became the front page news of The New York Times.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted a surprise search of John Bolton's home in Maryland on August 22, 2025, and searched his Washington office. This operation is part of a national security investigation aimed at finding "classified documents that may exist."
Bolton served as the National Security Advisor to the Trump administration from 2018 and was fired after serving only 17 months due to differences in opinion. After leaving, he became a major critic of Trump and criticized Trump in his memoir for being "extremely ignorant of foreign policy."
FBI Director Kash Patel stated that this operation was an embodiment of "the rule of law," emphasizing that "no one is above the law." At present, the FBI has not disclosed specific details of the investigation, and Bolton himself has not responded.
After the incident, Trump said he was "unaware" and called Bolton a "lowlife." Previously, when Trump began his second term, he had already revoked Bolton's Secret Service protection benefits.
