“I’m not a fan of John Bolton,” Trump said. The first Trump administration launched an investigation into Bolton to probe if he improperly used sensitive information in his book. FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on social media that “NO ONE is above the law,” and that FBI agents were “on mission.”The FBI declined to comment. In 2020, the Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation into Bolton’s book and tried to block its publication, but were stymied in court. Patel also wrote a 2023 book where he lists Bolton, along with a dozen other people, as members of the “deep state” who are working against Trump, according to the Times.
