The raid on Bolton's home was part of an investigation into the handling of classified documents according to The Associated Press.

Donald Trump's former personal attorney said the president has "crossed yet another name off of his enemies list."

Bolton has been a regular presence on cable news shows since Trump returned to office - often criticizing the president’s approach to foreign policy.

Former CIA Director Leon Panetta suggested on Saturday that John Bolton was targeted over his vocal criticisms of President Donald Trump after the FBI raided the former national security adviser’s Maryland home just ahead of the weekend.

The FBI conducted a court-authorized search at John Bolton’s home as part of a national security investigation into whether he disclosed classified information in his 2020 book, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The Rupert Murdoch-owned publication also didn’t spare any criticism for FBI Director Kash Patel, who cryptically tweeted “NO ONE is above the law” minutes before news of the Bolton raid broke. “The President’s minions... don’t serve as the check on his worst impulses the way grown-ups did in his first term,” the board argued."

The FBI raided former National Security Advisor John Bolton's home after years of disputes with Trump following Bolton's departure from Trump's first administration.
