Former National Security Advisor John Bolton, who served under President Donald Trump’s first administration, was the subject of FBI raids at his home and office Friday morning as federal authorities searched for classified documents.
The raids follow a storied history between Trump and Bolton that has devolved into the pair trading repeated political blows on the public stage.
News broke early Friday morning that FBI agents flocked around Bolton’s Maryland home and were seen carrying out boxes, which was followed hours later by the FBI raiding Bolton’s Washington, D.C., office.
“I’m not a fan of John Bolton,” Trump told reporters on Friday morning after the raids began, adding he saw the reports but was not aware of details on the raid ahead of time. “He’s a real sort of a lowlife.”

“He’s a very quiet person, except on television, if he can say something bad about Trump,” Trump added. “He’s not a smart guy, but he could be a very unpatriotic guy. We’re going to find out.”

Fox News Digital took a look back at the pair’s relationship since Trump’s mad dash to fill his first administration in 2017, through his ouster of Bolton as the national security advisor and the ongoing clashes the pair have shared since.
