The FBI conducted a search of former National Security Advisor John Bolton's residence as part of an investigation into classified documents. Bolton, a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, is believed to be involved in the investigation. The search was carried out by FBI agents, and a person familiar with the matter confirmed the details. The investigation likely centers around the handling and potential mishandling of classified information. Bolton's involvement, as a high-profile Trump critic, has added to the complexity and sensitivity of the situation. The search of his home underscores the ongoing scrutiny and legal implications surrounding the management of classified materials by individuals associated with the previous administration.
