FBI agents raided former Trump national security adviser John Bolton’s Maryland home Friday morning in a revived classified documents probe tied to his 2020 memoir and handling of sensitive material. The investigation was first opened under Trump but later shelved during Biden’s term. FBI Director Kash Patel ordered the raid, calling it part of his push to root out corruption inside federal agencies.
At the same time, newly declassified memos suggest former FBI Director James Comey authorized leaks ahead of the 2016 election, contradicting his sworn testimony to Congress. Patel said the revelations prove past cover-ups, while legal experts note potential charges could still apply under extended statutes of limitations for national security cases.
