Overview

• An itemized inventory shows agents took two iPhones, multiple computers, USB and hard drives, four boxes of printed daily activities, folders labeled “Trump I–IV,” and a white binder titled “Statements and Reflections to Allied Strikes.”
• The warrant cites possible violations of 18 U.S.C. § 793 and 18 U.S.C. § 1924 related to handling national defense information and classified materials.
• A federal judge unsealed the warrant returns and related filings at the request of news organizations, keeping portions of the underlying affidavit sealed to protect the ongoing investigation.
• The search occurred on Aug. 22 at Bolton’s home in Bethesda, Maryland, and his Washington office, with court papers authorizing agents to attempt fingerprint or facial‑recognition unlocking of devices.
• Bolton has not been charged, and his attorney says the seized materials are ordinary records from his government service, as political debate continues over reports the probe was paused and later reopened.
