FBI突击搜查博尔顿住宅

2025年8月22日，美国联邦调查局（FBI）清晨突击搜查了前总统特朗普的国家安全顾问约翰·博尔顿（John Bolton）在马里兰州贝塞斯达的住所及其华盛顿办公室。调查焦点是他是否不当保留或洩露国家机密文件。

据悉，博尔顿目前未被捕，也未遭起诉。FBI局长卡什·帕特尔（Kash Patel）在社交平台X上强调：「没有人能凌驾於法律之上」，并指出执法人员正依法行事。司法部长邦迪（Pam Bondi）及副局长丹·邦吉诺（Dan Bongino）也公开支持此次行动。

博尔顿曾因出版回忆录《事发之室》引发争议，被指未经审批便披露敏感内容，虽然该调查在2021年终止，但此次行动显示争议再度浮现。

外界认為，这次突击不仅针对博尔顿个人，更是拜登政府持续审查前政府高官处理机密文件的一环。在特朗普本人仍因「机密文件案」缠讼的背景下，这场搜查為美国政坛再添不确定性。

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.
