WASHINGTON () New court records show what items were removed from the home of former Trump national security advisor John Bolton during an Aug. 22 raid of his Maryland home.

According to the itemized list of materials collected during the raid, authorities took two iPhones that belonged to Bolton, folders containing documents that were labeled “Trump I-IV” and four boxes of printed daily activities. They also seized two USB drives, two laptops and a desktop computer.

Bolton, a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, was not home when FBI agents raided his Bethesda house and he has not been charged with a crime.

The raid was reportedly related to Bolton’s handling of classified information as he penned his 2020 memoir “The Room Where It Happened” about his time in the first Trump administration.

Bolton served as Trump’s third national security adviser for 17 months and clashed with him over Iran, Afghanistan and North Korea.

Trump, on his first day back in office this year, revoked security clearances of more than four dozen former intelligence officials, including Bolton. Bolton was also among a group of former Trump officials whose security details were canceled by Trump earlier this year.
