FBI raids former National Security Adviser John Bolton's homeReports
"The FBI raided the Maryland home of John Bolton, President Trump's former national security adviser, on Friday morning, multiple outlets reported.
Why it matters: Bolton was vocal in his criticism of the president after working in the first Trump administration. Trump has aggressively used the power of the presidency to punish political foes.
The FBI declined to comment, and the White House did not respond to Axios' request for comment.
The latest: "No, I don't know about it," Trump said to press on Friday. "I saw it on television this morning. I'm not a fan of John Bolton. He's a real lowlife."
"We're in the very early stages of an ongoing investigation into John Bolton," Vice President JD Vance said in a Meet the Press interview on Friday, adding that classified documents were part of the reason for the probe.
Vance said Bolton was "not at all" being targeted for being a Trump critic."
