John Bolton, former Trump national security advisor and outspoken critic, had his home and office searched by the FBI in an investigation related to classified information. The raid, which occurred on Wednesday morning, was not ordered by Trump, according to the Justice Department. Bolton's attorney has stated that the search is linked to Bolton sending highly sensitive classified documents using a private email server. The raid has sparked speculation about potential retribution from Trump, but Attorney General Merrick Garland has insisted that it was not politically motivated. Bolton's book, "The Room Where It Happened," has been a source of controversy, with some believing it led to the raid.
