John Bolton, former Trump official critical of president, has home searched

Law enforcement personnel were seen outside the residence of John Bolton, a longtime Republican figure and critic of President Donald Trump. Footage showed FBI agents at the Bethesda, Md., residence, where Bolton was spotted speaking with individuals wearing FBI vests.

FBI Director Kash Patel posted on social media about agents being on a mission, although there was no official comment from the Justice Department. Bolton, 76, had served in various Republican administrations before becoming Trump’s national security adviser.

During his time in the Trump administration, Bolton clashed with the president on several key issues, including North Korea, Syria, and Afghanistan. He also wrote a book, “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,” which faced legal challenges over classified information concerns.

Despite his disagreements with Trump, Bolton continued to provide analysis on various news channels, including CBC News Network. He recently shared his insights on diplomatic talks involving Ukraine, Russia, and Western leaders.

Trump’s administration sought to revoke security clearances for Bolton and other officials, promising retribution for those who investigated his activities. Allegations of mortgage fraud were made against officials like Letitia James, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Cook, prompting further scrutiny.

The Trump administration also announced the revocation of security clearances for several national security officials, citing concerns over Russian threats to elections. Democrats defended their actions, pointing to indictments of their own party members for alleged wrongdoing.

The ongoing saga between Trump and his critics highlights the deep divisions within American politics, with accusations of a “deep state” and weaponized Justice Department flying from both sides. As the investigations continue, the political landscape remains fraught with tension and uncertainty.
