The FBI on Friday searched the Maryland home and Washington office of former national security adviser John Bolton as part of a criminal investigation into the possible mishandling of classified information.
Corey Lewandowski, a former senior adviser to President Donald Trump, told Newsmax on Saturday that it was “highly likely that John Bolton did have some type of classified information” on his home computers.
“I’ve seen that report and it’s very reminiscent of somebody else named Hillary Clinton who was using a private server. As you know, what they’ve never accused Donald Trump of is using a private server because he doesn’t send any emails,” he told the outlet’s “Saturday Report.”
“So it’s amazing how all of these people have been accusing Donald Trump of this Russia collusion for all these years, when they were actually doing the things that they accused Donald Trump of,” Lewandowski added.
Lewandowski was with Trump on Friday and mentioned that the president is unlikely to feel sympathy for Bolton, especially after his own private residence was raided in August 2022. “I think it’s very probable and highly likely that John Bolton did have some type of classified information, either at his home or on his computers from things that he forwarded to himself. We know that’s a crime,” Lewandowski said.
“We know that they raided the president’s home. I was with him yesterday in the Oval Office when he talked about the invasion at his home. So, I think it’s very difficult for the president to feel bad that [former President] Joe Biden’s home clearly had classified information in it,” the adviser said.
“We know that to be true. And now John Bolton’s home may have also had classified information. We’ll see if the scales of justice are applied equally as they were against Donald Trump when he was a private citizen,” he added.
