FBI agents on Friday morning searched former national security adviser John Bolton's Maryland home and Washington office as part of a court-authorized investigation into classified documents. Bolton hasn't been charged with any crimes.

President Donald Trump said he didn't have early knowledge about the search, saying that he "saw it on television" in the morning. He said he expected to be briefed later in the day and called Bolton "sort of a lowlife."

Bolton served as Trump's national security adviser for approximately 17 months until September 2019, when his tenure ended amid disagreements over foreign policy, particularly regarding Iran and North Korea.

The Justice Department (DOJ) sued Bolton and launched a criminal investigation in 2020 over his memoir "The Room Where It Happened," alleging it contained classified information without proper government approval. The Biden administration dropped the lawsuit and criminal investigation in 2021.

Trump revoked Bolton's security clearance and Secret Service protection detail on his first day back in office, despite Bolton facing active threats from Iran, including an alleged assassination plot by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The timing and circumstances of this raid appear highly suspicious and retaliatory in nature. Bolton has been a vocal Trump critic, and the investigation was previously closed by the Biden administration only to be reopened after Trump returned to power. This looks like weaponization of law enforcement against political enemies rather than legitimate prosecution.

Considering Bolton's past careless handling of classified materials and his disrespect of the law and requests from the executive branch when he published his memoir without final government approval, it shouldn't be a surprise that the FBI has undergone this operation. The DOJ has a duty to pursue this case, which Trump had no prior knowledge of.

Bolton has been a vocal Trump critic, and this investigation was previously closed by the Biden administration. It's well known that Bolton is on a lengthy list of perceived enemies kept by Patel, and Trump has often spoken publicly about prosecuting those who've opposed him and his actions. This sure smells like the weaponization of law enforcement.

There's a 31% chance that the DOJ will announce an investigation or prosecution of a Democrat who served as president, vice president, congressional leader, whip or impeachment manager before Jan. 1, 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
