FBI searches Bolton home and office in classified documents probe

FBI agents executed court-authorized search warrants at former National Security Advisor John Bolton's residence in Bethesda, Maryland, and his Washington, D.C., office on August 22, 2025. Agents seized documents labeled secret, confidential, and classified, including some referencing weapons of mass destruction. The search was part of a federal investigation into whether Bolton mishandled classified materials by storing them on a personal email account that was later hacked by operatives linked to Iran.
