In a significant development, CIA Director John Ratcliffe's collaboration with FBI Director Kash Patel has reportedly led to a federal raid on the residence of John Bolton, who served as national security advisor during President Donald Trump's first term.
This revelation was brought to light by Jack Posobiec, host of Human Events Daily, who shared on X, "CIA Director John Ratcliffe provided Kash Patel access to U.S. intelligence that served as the basis for the warrant to raid Bolton."
According to The Post Millennial, the raid on Bolton's Maryland home unfolded this morning, marking a dramatic turn in the ongoing investigation into his handling of classified information. A source familiar with the situation remarked to Posobiec, "Bolton disingenuously attacking Trump for mishandling classified information will go down as one of the most audacious and ironic acts of malice in political history. Bolton shouldnt have been throwing stones in his (now-raided) glass house."
As the news of the raid spread, Patel took to X, asserting, "NO ONE is above the law @FBI agents on mission." This sentiment was echoed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who shared Patel's post and emphasized, "Americas safety isnt negotiable. Justice will be pursued. Always."
Bolton, who served for 17 months under President Trump, has since emerged as a vocal critic of the administration. When questioned about the raid, President Trump stated, "I know nothing about it. I just saw it this morning, they did a raid," while expressing his intention to gain further insights from forthcoming briefings.
He elaborated, "I tell [Attorney General Pam Bondi], and I tell the group, I dont want to know, but you have to do what you have to do. I dont want to know about it. Its not necessary. I could know about. I could be the one starting it. Im actually the chief law enforcement officer. But I feel that its better this way."
The investigation into Bolton's handling of classified documents, which had been initiated during President Trump's tenure, was reportedly closed during the Biden administration for "political reasons," as disclosed by a U.S. official.
The probe initially stemmed from Bolton's book, "The Room Where It Happened," which allegedly contained classified information. President Trump had previously expressed concerns over the publication of the book, citing its reliance on sensitive materials.
