米べいFBI ボルトン元もと大統領だいとうりょう補佐ほさ官かん自宅じたくを捜索そうさく 大統領だいとうりょうに批判ひはん的てき立場たちば

During the first Trump administration in the United States, John Bolton, who served as National Security Advisor and has taken a critical stance against President Trump after resigning, had his home and other locations searched by the FBI. Some media outlets are reporting concerns that there is a risk the administration may be using its authority to target opponents.

The FBI Federal Bureau of Investigation announced on the 22nd that it searched the home and office of John Bolton, who served as National Security Advisor during the first Trump administration.

Multiple investigators were seen entering and leaving Mr. Boltons residence near the capital, Washington.

According to reports, Mr. Bolton is suspected of improperly handling classified information.

Mr. Bolton, during his tenure, had disagreements with President Trump over policies such as those toward North Korea, and after resigning in 2019, he published a tell-all book and has taken a critical stance against President Trump. Recently, he has also expressed skepticism about the summit meeting with Russian President Putin.

President Trump told reporters about the search, I dont know.

I saw it on TV this morning.

He may be an unpatriotic person, but that will become clear from now on, he said.

Some media outlets are reporting that there are concerns that the government may be using its authority to target political opponents regarding this search.

A large number of reporters gathered at the home of former aide Bolton, located in a residential area near Washington. People wearing jackets labeled FBI could be seen coming and going, while local residents and others watched the situation unfold.

Among the people who gathered, some were holding placards with messages like President Trump is using the FBI for revenge, while others, such as someone passing by in a car with the window down, argued, Hasnt the economy improved since President Trump took office?

A woman who lives nearby and said she came after seeing the news reported, I came here out of concern for the decline of democracy.

I felt that President Trump was using government power and the FBI for personal retaliation, he said.
