Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, recently addressed the FBI raid on former National Security Advisor John Bolton. During an interview on “Hannity,” Jordan framed the raid as part of a broader effort to hold accountable individuals accused of undermining President Donald Trump’s administration.
Jordan pointed to key former officials—James Comey, Adam Schiff, James Clapper, and John Brennan—alleging their involvement in leaking classified information and altering intelligence assessments to damage Trump. He emphasized that this raid was conducted without the media spectacle seen during the 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid.
Citing recent findings, Jordan credited the efforts of Attorney General, FBI Director Kash Patel, and ODNI Director Tulsi Gabbard for exposing alleged misconduct. He claimed whistleblowers had revealed Schiff and Comey leaked classified data and that Brennan and Clapper pressured the intelligence community to modify assessments before Trump took office in 2017

Jordan argued these revelations show a coordinated effort by deep state actors to sabotage Trump. He named Bolton among this group, claiming mishandling of classified materials and referencing Bolton’s prior presence in Qatar as a possible national security concern.
Kash Patel added to the narrative by posting on X just as the raid unfolded, writing, “NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission.” Though he didn’t name Bolton directly, the timing suggested a clear connection. Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino also weighed in, stressing that public corruption would not be tolerated.
Bolton, once a key Trump advisor and later a vocal critic, had his security clearance revoked earlier in the year. He had previously hinted at a presidential run, emphasizing a need for stronger U.S. foreign policy. Jordan concluded that these accountability efforts reflect what voters demanded when electing Trump.
