List of Items FBI Confiscated From John Bolton’s House During Raid Revealed [WATCH]

Federal investigators seized computers, phones, and boxes of documents from former National Security Adviser John Bolton during an August 22 raid of his Bethesda, Maryland, home, according to court records unsealed Thursday.

The documents indicate that Bolton, 76, is under investigation for potential violations of the Espionage Act and could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

The warrant shows agents entered both Bolton’s Maryland residence and his Washington, D.C., office as part of a probe into allegations that he removed classified national security files during President Donald Trump’s first term in office.

According to federal officials, investigators believe Bolton transmitted some of the materials to family members using a private server.

Court records detail that agents confiscated three computers, two iPhones, two USB drives, one hard drive, and multiple boxes of printed and typed documents.

Among the items taken were folders labeled “Trump I – IV” and a binder titled “statements and reflections to allied strikes.”

Officials also confirmed that agents removed four boxes containing Bolton’s daily activity logs.

The records confirm that Bolton is under scrutiny for potential violations of two provisions of the Espionage Act of 1917, which prohibit unauthorized possession or removal of national defense information.

In addition, he is being investigated under a separate statute that bars the unlawful hoarding of classified documents.

While Bolton has not yet been arrested or charged, a conviction on the full set of potential counts could result in a prison sentence of more than two decades.

The case was initially opened years earlier but, according to senior FBI officials, was set aside during Joe Biden’s administration.

Officials familiar with the matter said the file was later revisited when current FBI Director Kash Patel took office in February and reopened the investigation shortly afterward.

“The [Biden administration] had probable cause to know that he had taken material that was detrimental to the national security of the United States, and they made no effort to retrieve it,” a senior FBI official told The Post following the August raid.

The official further claimed that Bolton benefited from favorable treatment at the time.

“That was a friendly administration to [Bolton]. They kept bashing [Trump] the entire time for ‘weaponizing law enforcement,’ and they — by politically stopping a righteous investigation — are the ones who weaponized law enforcement.”

Despite the ongoing investigation, Bolton has remained publicly active and continues to post online commentary about foreign policy developments.

On Wednesday evening, he criticized President Trump’s approach to India relations in a post on X, writing, “The White House has set U.S.-India relations back decades, pushing Modi closer to Russia and China. Beijing has cast itself as an alternative to the U.S. and Donald Trump.”

Bolton, who served as national security adviser from April 2018 to September 2019, has returned to his home following the raid.

Federal prosecutors have not announced whether charges will be formally filed, but the records confirm that the investigation remains active.
