Trump slams Bolton as FBI raids his home for classified documents

In the United States, former National Security Advisor John Bolton faced an FBI raid at his home and office, which began on a Friday morning. This raid, part of a broader investigation, focused on allegations concerning Bolton’s possession of classified documents. As news of the operation made headlines, Donald Trump, the former president, expressed his disdain for Bolton, referring to him as a ‘lowlife’ and accusing him of suffering from ‘Trump derangement syndrome’. This incident marks the latest chapter in the tumultuous relationship between Trump and Bolton, which had previously included public disagreements and legal disputes regarding Bolton’s memoir, which Trump’s administration initially tried to block on the grounds of national security. Trump's criticisms and the FBI's actions have heightened the scrutiny surrounding Bolton—once a close advisor—reflecting a significant shift in their political dynamics over the years. Alongside the FBI raid, political figures have weighed in, with some describing the investigation as retribution against Bolton for his criticism of Trump and his administration’s policies. Meanwhile, Bolton has made statements regarding Trump's fitness for office, further fueling the contentious atmosphere between the two. This incident signals not just personal conflicts but broader implications for political accountability and the ongoing tensions within the former administration’s circle.
