FBI agents on Thursday morning raided the Maryland home of John Bolton, the former national security advisor to President Donald Trump and a staunch critic of the president, NBC News confirmed.

The raid is part of a “national security investigation in search of classified records,” a person familiar with the matter told NBC News.

FBI Director Kash Patel tweeted “NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission” at around 7 a.m. ET, the same time his agents reportedly arrived at Bolton’s residence in Bethesda, near Washington, D.C.
