Former FBI Deputy Director Blasts Kash Patel for ‘Elevating Risk’ for Agents
During John Bolton Raid with X Post: ‘Irresponsible!’

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe accused current FBI Director Kash Patel of “elevating” the risk for his own agents by posting to X about a raid on John Bolton’s Maryland home.

Bolton’s home was raided by FBI agents on Friday morning. The exact details behind the search are not known, but it is reportedly part of a national security investigation. Agents have been seen by media carrying boxes of documents out of the house.

Critics of Trump, including Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE), have tied the raid to Bolton’s public criticism of his former boss. Bolton previously served as national security advisor under Trump, but he’s been highly critical of his foreign policy efforts, including his negotiations for a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.

McCabe joined CNN’s Kate Bolduan and John Berman on Friday and blasted Patel’s handling of the raid, specifically his post to X about it.
