In a controversial move, the FBI conducted searches at the home and office of John Bolton, a former national security adviser to Donald Trump, as part of a national security investigation. The operation has sparked discussions about the potential weaponization of law enforcement against political adversaries, particularly as Bolton has been a vocal critic of Trump. Several experts and commentators have weighed in, expressing concern that this could signify a phase of retribution against former officials who have opposed the ex-president. While some, including Trump, have accused Bolton of wrongdoing, others argue that the investigation does not directly stem from his criticisms of the former president. The unfolding events have raised eyebrows regarding the political implications of law enforcement actions and the increasingly tumultuous relationship between Trump and his former aides.
