In a move that's got Washington buzzing, FBI agents swarmed the Bethesda, Maryland home of John Bolton on Friday morning. Yep, the same John Bolton who once sat in the White House as national security adviser and later unleashed sharp critiques of President Trump.
The court-authorized search didn't stop there. Officials also showed up at Bolton's office in Washington, D.C., as part of a national security probe into the possible criminal release of classified information. 🕵️♂️ Classified leaks? This story has all the makings of a real-life political thriller.
So what's the scoop? Sources say investigators are zeroing in on whether Bolton mishandled or shared secret documents once he left the administration. An FBI spokesperson confirmed "court-authorized activity" but kept details under wraps. Bolton himself told CNN he had no immediate knowledge of the search and is digging into the facts.
Bolton, who also served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has been an outspoken critic of Trump, famously calling him 'unfit for office.' This raid marks the latest high-profile move by the Trump administration to flex its legal muscles against perceived adversaries since taking office in January.
For observers and students of politics, this could reshuffle the deck in Washington's power game. Stay tuned as we follow the twists and turns of this unfolding saga! 🍿
