The investigation reportedly relates to the handling of classified documents, a matter that dates back several years.

A senior U.S. official told The Post that the probe had originally been launched during the Trump administration but was shut down by the Biden administration “for political reasons.”

Bolton has previously faced scrutiny over allegations that his 2020 memoir, The Room Where It Happened, included classified information.

The book detailed his time in the Trump administration and included descriptions of national security discussions.

President Donald Trump objected to its publication, arguing that Bolton had violated a nondisclosure agreement he signed as a condition of his employment by disclosing sensitive national security information.

Despite attempts to block the release, the book was ultimately published in June 2020.

In September 2020, the Department of Justice under Trump opened an inquiry into the matter, examining whether classified material had been improperly included in the memoir.

The outcome of that inquiry was never fully disclosed, but the latest raid suggests the investigation has been revived under new leadership at the bureau.

Bolton has been a prominent critic of President Trump since leaving the administration in 2019.

He has frequently appeared on national television criticizing Trump’s national security and foreign policy decisions. His continued public opposition has kept him at the center of political and legal attention.

The timing of the raid comes just one day after FBI Director Patel revealed that former FBI Director James Comey had authorized leaks of classified documents in the period leading up to the 2016 election.

Patel stated that Comey misled Congress while allowing information to be disclosed.

Patel, who was named FBI Director by President Trump, has pledged to increase accountability inside the federal government and has repeatedly said that he intends to root out corruption and expose past cover-ups.

Officials have not disclosed what, if anything, was seized during Friday’s raid of Bolton’s residence.

The FBI has not commented publicly on the scope of the investigation or whether additional charges may be brought.

Bolton, who served as National Security Advisor from April 2018 until September 2019, has not released a public statement regarding the raid. His representatives also did not respond to requests for comment following Friday morning’s events.

The raid marks the latest development in a series of high-profile federal enforcement actions tied to the handling of classified documents.

Investigators are expected to continue reviewing the materials in question to determine whether Bolton violated federal law by including sensitive information in his published work or retaining classified records without authorization.
