Federal agents went to Bolton’s house in Bethesda, Md., at 7 a.m. as part of an investigation ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, a Trump administration official told The Post.

FBI Official just told me the John Bolton Raid is about Bolton’s serial theft and publication of classified information that has gone on for years:
FBI Official:

This raid of Bolton’s residence comes after years of investigation into this potentially criminal disclosure, which started in 2020, before being put on pause for political reasons.
The Trump administration is committed to restoring integrity to the Justice department and ending the weaponization government. Our investigation will follow the evidence and ensure accountability.”
