ABC News reported that more than 30 minutes ago, former President Donald Trump suddenly raided the private home of former national security adviser John Bolton, citing Bolton’s alleged leak of classified information. This event immediately shocked public opinion, causing US political observers and the international community to question the limits of a former president’s power.
According to sources from ABC News, security forces approached Bolton’s home early this morning. It is not yet clear exactly what documents or information were seized, but many experts believe that these could be sensitive reports related to important policy decisions during Trump’s term. Some sources even said that some of these documents could be directly related to national security plans that were previously only allowed to be circulated in privileged agencies.
Responding to the incident, Vice President Kamala Harris commented: “This action was completely predictable. This is exactly how he uses power – in an extreme way and far beyond normal standards.” Ms. Harris emphasized that raiding the home of a former adviser just because of leaking information not only raises concerns about privacy and the law, but also has the potential to undermine faith in American democratic institutions.
Many political analysts said that Trump’s move clearly demonstrated his extreme control personality and willingness to use power to punish those who disagree with him. “He not only wants to punish the person who leaked the information but also wants to send a deterrent message to all those who intend to oppose him in the future,” an expert commented.
Conversely, some opinions said that Trump may have legal authority if he believes the leaked information actually poses a threat to national security. However, the way the raid was carried out – suddenly, and directly at the home of a former adviser – has raised concerns among many Americans about an abuse of power.
On social media, the raid quickly became a hot topic, with thousands of comments criticizing Trump’s actions. Some Twitter users wrote: “Unbelievable, a former president would do this. This is a warning sign for all American democracy.” Meanwhile, Trump’s supporters said he was only exercising legal power to protect national information.
Currently, there has been no official comment from John Bolton on the incident. But according to many sources, Mr. Bolton is contacting a lawyer to consider possible legal actions to protect his personal rights and documents.
This raid has caused a wave of strong controversy, not only about Trump’s actions but also about the limits of power of a former president. Whether this behavior violated the law is still under investigation by the authorities. However, the event is sure to be one of the most controversial highlights in modern American political history, raising the question of whether the power of a former president is really tightly controlled.
