US EditionFBI searches home of ex-Trump national security adviser John Bolton in classified documents probe
The FBI raid, ordered by Director Kash Patel, revisits a 2020 probe into Bolton's handling of classified documents linked to his memoir, with no charges filed yet.
- On Friday, August 22, 2025, FBI agents conducted a court-authorized search of John Bolton's home and office near Washington, DC, in a national security probe.
- The investigation revived questions about whether Bolton revealed sensitive government details in his 2020 memoir after the Justice Department ended a related inquiry in 2021 during the Biden administration.
- Bolton, a former Trump national security adviser fired in 2019, said he was unaware of the search and was looking into it, while the FBI declined to comment.
- FBI Director Kash Patel stated, "NO ONE is above the law & @FBI agents on mission," and co-deputy director Dan Bongino said, "Public corruption will not be tolerated."
- The search highlights continuing legal scrutiny over classified disclosures related to Bolton's memoir, but the exact basis and possible outcomes remain unclear.
