The FBI agents searched the home and office of US President Donald Trump’s former National Security Adviser John Bolton, as part of an apparent investigation into the handling of classified information. The high-profile Republican aide has been a vocal critic of Trump since quitting his first administration in 2019, and was previously accused by the White House of misusing classified information in his 2020 account of working with the president.
The FBI has not commented in detail, but sources familiar with the search said that it was related to the classified documents. Bolton has not been detained, and no criminal charges have been filed. Asked by reporters what the investigation was about, Trump said he had not directly ordered the searches. Vice President JD Vance told a TV channel that the classified documents are certainly part of the investigation. Bolton returned to his Maryland home last night but did not speak to reporters outside.
