The FBI raided the home of Trump’s former National Security Advisor John Bolton early Friday morning.
FBI agents were sent to Bolton’s home because he allegedly sent “highly sensitive” classified materials to family members from a private, unsecured email server while he was working at the White House during the first Trump Administration.
“Investigators reopened a dormant probe into Bolton’s alleged use of a private email to send classified national security documents to his wife and daughter from his work desk before his dismissal by Trump in September 2019, according to a senior US official,” The New York Post reported.
The investigation into John Bolton and whether he violated the Espionage Act, began in 2020 when he used classified information to write his book titled, “The Room Where It Happened.”
The Biden Administration halted the investigation into Bolton, but FBI Director Kash Patel revived it and ordered the raid on the former NatSec Advisor’s home.
John Bolton has not been arrested or charged with any crimes (yet).
Bolton’s security clearance was previously stripped by President Trump.
