FBI agents raided the home of President Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton on Friday morning.
That’s according to the New York Post, which reported that the 7 a.m. raid of Bolton’s house in Bethesda, Md., was part of a high-profile national security probe ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel.

The probe reportedly involves classified documents and was first launched years ago, but the Biden administration shut it down “for political reasons,” the newspaper said, citing a senior US official.
On Thursday, Patel revealed that former FBI Director James Comey had authorized leaks of classified documents “while misleading Congress” ahead of the 2016 elections.

Team MAGA was pumped over the early-morning report that the neo-con warmonger was being targeted.
The move may temporarily satiate their hunger for arrests in the face of an apparent deep-state coup attempt against Trump, but at some point Democrat officials behind the effort to undermine a sitting U.S. president will have to be held to account. Otherwise, Team MAGA is being set up for another Epstein-sized letdown.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
Is this true? Or a joke? Because if it’s true this just made my day LOL.

Bolton’s door finally got the “shock & awe” treatment he once bragged about using on others.
Karma knocks loud at 7AM.
Imagine writing books about “national security while your own house is a crime scene. Poetic.— Advaita (@Advaita0511) August 22, 2025

I’m not sure what’s more enjoyable, knowing that the FBI is going after John Bolton or that the fact that the FBI is going after John Bolton has everybody else on the naughty list peeing in their pants this morning.
