U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC-01) tells Steve Bannon that Joe Biden and his open border policies have transformed every town into a border town. This is true even in her home state of South Carolina, where police arrest MS-13 gang members and deal with human trafficking, sex trafficking, and daily overdoses of fentanyl. "This is all across the country, and it's affecting everybody and our economy," Mace said. "It will strain the health care system and our education system. These people are coming here illegally. They want a free ride, and Democrats want to give them the right to vote on top of everything else."
FBI agents early Friday raided the home of former National Security Advisor John Bolton as part of an investigation into a national security matter, U.S. officials told Just the News.
FBI Director Kash Patel hinted at the action in a cryptic post on his X social media account.
“NO ONE is above the law… FBI agents on mission,” Patel wrote.
Officials said the search of Bolton’s home involved a national security case that began under the Biden administration, but wasn’t aggressively pursued until Patel took over earlier this year. They declined to be more specific.
Bolton was one of several national security advisers for Trump, but was eventually fired and became a critic of the current president and Patel's nomination as FBI Director.
Earlier this year, Trump pulled Bolton's security clearance and Secret Service protection, drawing objections from some GOP senators like Tom Cotton of Arkansas.
After that action, Bolton eerily predicted he might face further action from Patel's FBI.
"I think the central characteristic Trump seems to be looking for in all of the appointees we’ve seen so far is fealty to him," he told the Christian Science Monitor in January. "A lot of people say it’s loyalty. Loyalty is a virtue, it’s a good thing. That’s not what Trump wants. He wants fealty to him. He wants submissiveness. He wants yes-men and yes-women. And Kash Patel has demonstrated, in his service in Trump’s first term, that he’ll simply do whatever Trump wants.
In response to a question in the interview about Patel, he said: "I don’t think he’s qualified," Bolton told the Christian Science Monitor "And if there is a retribution campaign, and there certainly seems to be, he would be a central element of it. I think that’s dangerous."
