Court documents reveal evidence taken during FBI search of John Bolton’s home

FBI agents found a white binder labeled “Statements and Reflections to Allied Strikes” and several folders labeled “Trump I-IV” in the Bethesda, Md., home of former national security adviser John Bolton. They also carried away several phones, computers, hard drives, and boxes containing printed records of Bolton’s daily activities, according to a Thursday filing in a Maryland federal court.

Agents searched Bolton’s home nearly two weeks ago as part of a national security probe, according to court documents. The FBI was investigating alleged improper handling of defense information and unauthorized removal and possession of classified documents, according to the court filing.

How has Bolton responded? A few days after the search, Bolton reposted a video in which commentators said it was suspicious that the search came after he criticized President Donald Trump.
