FBI Seized Phones, Computer Equipment, Folders During Search of Bolton’s Home, Records Show
The FBI seized multiple electronic devices and classified documents linked to former National Security Advisor John Bolton during an ongoing Espionage Act investigation.
- On August 22, 2025, federal agents raided John Bolton's Bethesda, Maryland, home, seizing 3 computers, including a Dell Precision Tower model 3620, 2 iPhones, and documents, court records show.
- Investigators say the probe stems from allegations Bolton emailed classified files to family via a private email server during President Donald Trump's first term; FBI Director Kash Patel reopened a shelved inquiry.
- Among seized items were two USB drives and one Seagate hard drive, four boxes of printed daily activities, folders labeled 'Trump I – IV', and a white binder labeled 'statements and reflections to allied strikes'.
- The search warrant cites alleged violations of two sections of the Espionage Act of 1917, and John Bolton faces up to 25 years if convicted, though he has not been charged yet.
- Bolton has long criticized President Donald Trump since his 2019 firing, with Trump revoking Bolton's security clearance and Secret Service detail amid their feud, and Bolton's 2020 book, The Room Where It Happened, prompted earlier scrutiny for classified content.
