FBI Searches Home and Office of Former National Security Adviser John Bolton

Bolton served in the previous Trump administration

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is searching the Maryland home and Washington office of John Bolton, who served in President Donald Trump’s first administration as national security adviser, as part of an investigation into the handling of classified information, a person familiar with the matter said Friday.

After being fired in 2019, Bolton emerged as an outspoken critic of Trump and feuded with the first Trump administration over a scathing book he wrote documenting his time in the White House.

He was not in custody Friday and has not been charged with any crimes, said the person, who was not authorized to discuss the investigation by name and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.
