The New York Post is exclusively reporting that the FBI raided the home of John Bolton, in what is being called a "high-profile national security probe."

Bolton, 76, served as President Trump's national security adviser from 2018 to 2019. He later went on to become one of Trump's harshest critics.

Trump pulled Bolton's security clearance back in January 2025, and yanked his Secret Service protection one day later.

"We’re not gonna have security on people for the rest of their lives. Why should we?" Trump declared. "I thought he [Bolton] was a very dumb person, but I used him well." 

“Every time people saw me come into a meeting with John Bolton standing behind me, they thought that he’d attack them because he was a warmonger.”

FBI Director Kash Patel ordered the 7 a.m. raid on Bolton's Bethesda, Md., home, and followed with this well-timed message on X:

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino shared a similar message minutes later, adding, "Public corruption will not be tolerated."

The raid allegedly involves classified documents. Bolton is not currently under arrest.

Trump fought the release of Bolton's 2020 book, "The Room Where it Happened," claiming it was written using classified documents. In the book, Bolton claimed that Trump withheld aid to Ukraine until they gave him information on alleged bribes to the Biden family. Parts of the book were "leaked" to the New York Times, and Democrats attempted to use the information to impeach Trump during his first term.

Bolton fired off a message of his own on X, 30 minutes after Patel:

Paul "Eggs" Nolan, cohost of "Real America's Voice's Live From Studio 6B, wasted no time tearing into Bolton:

Fellow cohost Rick Delgado joined the fun:

The raid on Bolton's house comes hot on the heels of Patel stating that former FBI Director James Comey authorized leaks of classified information, while simultaneously "misleading Congress" before Trump's historic upset of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
