In a series of X posts, Bolton was back to decrying the 45th and 47th president’s foreign policy — as well as the law enforcement actions targeting him.
“Donald Trump’s Ukraine policy today is no more coherent than it was last Friday when his administration executed search warrants against my home and office,” Bolton wrote in one message. “Collapsing in confusion and haste, Trump’s negotiations may be in their last throes, along with his Nobel Peace Prize campaign.”
The post linked to an opinion piece Bolton authored on Trump’s “utterly incoherent Ukraine strategy,” which was published in the Washington Examiner on Monday.
“The administration has tried to camouflage its disarray behind social media posts, such as Trump comparing his finger-pointing at Russian President Vladimir Putin to then-Vice President Richard Nixon during the famous kitchen debate with Nikita Khrushchev,” the 76-year-old wrote in the piece. “Why Trump wants to be compared to the only president who resigned in disgrace is unclear.”
Bolton additionally claimed in a subsequent X post that “bilateral relationships have suffered considerable damage because of the fallout from the administration’s failing diplomacy.”
“The longer India hangs out to dry, the worse the New Delhi-Washington relationship gets,” he added.
A high-ranking FBI official told The Post Friday that G-men searched Bolton’s home and office as part of an investigation into allegations that he used a private email server to send classified documents to members of his family from his desk at the White House during his tenure as national security adviser.
Bolton’s X account had gone unusually silent since Friday — save for a single post made about 30 minutes after the feds arrived at his Bethesda, Md., above.

However, it was unclear whether that message — which again criticized Trump’s Ukraine strategy — had been pre-scheduled to post.
“Russia has not changed its goal: drag Ukraine into a new Russian Empire. Moscow has demanded that Ukraine cede territory it already holds and the remainder of Donetsk, which it has been unable to conquer. Zelensky will never do so,” Bolton said at the time.
“Meanwhile, meetings will continue because Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, but I don’t see these talks making any progress.”
In addition to his criticisms of Trump, Bolton also retweeted a post by the UK’s Times Radio outlet of an interview with former Conservative Party leader William Hague, in which the British official claimed it was “suspicious” that federal investigators raided Bolton “after criticizing Trump,” calling the action “a potential encroachment on freedom of speech and liberty.”
