Former National Security Advisor John Bolton posted to X about the war in Ukraine while taking a shot at President Donald Trump’s peace efforts on Friday morning as FBI agents raided his Maryland home. The X message, which was sent at 7:32 a.m., highlights Bolton’s strong stance on Russia’s war objectives and his criticism of Trump’s diplomatic approach.
The FBI raid, which began at 7:00 a.m., focused on potential classified documents that agents believe Bolton may still possess. The investigation is part of a broader probe into Trump-Russia connections, which has been a contentious political issue. Bolton, who served as Trump’s national security advisor from 2018 to 2019, was not arrested or in custody during the early morning raids.
FBI Director Kash Patel posted to X at 7:03 a.m., emphasizing that no one is above the law. The raids are part of an FBI effort to address potential public corruption issues. Bolton’s public comments on the war in Ukraine and his direct criticism of Trump’s peace efforts reflect the ongoing political tensions and investigations that surround his former role in the administration.
In the years following his ousting from the Trump administration, Trump has repeatedly criticized Bolton, including claiming he would have sparked ‘World War Six.’ The current investigation into Bolton’s home and office is another significant development in the ongoing scrutiny of his actions and potential involvement in classified matters.
