The FBI on Friday morning searched the Maryland home and Washington office of John Bolton, the former national security adviser to Donald Trump who has since become one of the president’s fiercest critics.
Federal agents arrived at Bolton’s Bethesda residence around 7 a.m., according to The New York Post, which first broke the news.
He was reportedly home at the time but was neither detained nor charged.
The investigation involves the handling of classified documents, according to The Post, though details remain unclear.
