Feds Looking Into John Bolton’s Private Email Server

Federal agents searched John Bolton's Maryland home and Washington, D.C. office for evidence linked to alleged classified documents mishandling, with prosecutors considering charges under the Espionage Act.

  • On Friday, federal agents raided John Bolton's Maryland residence and Washington, D.C. office, renewing a probe into his alleged mishandling of classified information via a private email server.
  • The inquiry traces back to 2020 when investigators say classified files were allegedly transferred from John Bolton's official desk to family accounts via a private email server, and the Biden administration later paused this probe.
  • FBI agents, acting on a judge-approved warrant tied to Central Intelligence Agency overseas intelligence, recovered substantial evidence during seven- to eight-hour raids at Bolton's Maryland residence and Washington, D.C. office on Friday.
  • DOJ sources say Bolton's wife and daughter are not expected to face prosecution, while federal prosecutors review potential Espionage Act violations with significant legal consequences.
  • After the raids, critics pointed out the Biden administration paused the probe before restarting it, while FBI Director Kash Patel posted a cryptic message and Vice President JD Vance denied political motives.
