FBI突擊搜查博爾頓住宅

2025年8月22日，美國聯邦調查局（FBI）清晨突擊搜查了前總統特朗普的國家安全顧問約翰·博爾頓（John Bolton）在馬里蘭州貝塞斯達的住所及其華盛頓辦公室。調查焦點是他是否不當保留或洩露國家機密文件。

據悉，博爾頓目前未被捕，也未遭起訴。FBI局長卡什·帕特爾（Kash Patel）在社交平台X上強調：「沒有人能凌駕於法律之上」，並指出執法人員正依法行事。司法部長邦迪（Pam Bondi）及副局長丹·邦吉諾（Dan Bongino）也公開支持此次行動。

博爾頓曾因出版回憶錄《事發之室》引發爭議，被指未經審批便披露敏感內容，雖然該調查在2021年終止，但此次行動顯示爭議再度浮現。

外界認為，這次突擊不僅針對博爾頓個人，更是拜登政府持續審查前政府高官處理機密文件的一環。在特朗普本人仍因「機密文件案」纏訟的背景下，這場搜查為美國政壇再添不確定性。

FBI Raids John Bolton’s Home

On the morning of August 22, 2025, FBI agents executed a court-authorized search of former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s residence in Bethesda, Maryland, as well as his Washington, D.C. office. The investigation centers on whether Bolton improperly retained or disclosed classified documents.

So far, Bolton has not been arrested or charged. FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X: “No one is above the law … FBI agents on mission.” Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Director Dan Bongino also voiced public support for the operation.

Bolton, a longtime hawkish figure in U.S. foreign policy, previously drew controversy with his memoir, "The Room Where It Happened", which was accused of revealing sensitive information without proper clearance. Although that case was dropped in 2021, the raid signals renewed scrutiny.

Observers see the move as part of the Biden administration’s broader effort to examine how former Trump officials handled sensitive national security materials. With Trump himself still entangled in legal battles over classified files, the raid on Bolton adds another layer of uncertainty to an already fraught political landscape.
