Democratic lawmakers are harshly criticizing the Trump administration over the FBI’s raid Friday on the home of John Bolton, who served as Trump’s national security adviser but later became a vocal critic.
On Sunday, Democratic Senator Adam Schiff appeared on “Meet the Press” and said the raid is part of the administration’s “intimidation campaign” to target administration critics.
Sen. Adam Schiff: “What the president is trying to do here is very systemic and systematic. And that is, anyone who stands up to the president, anyone who criticizes the president, anyone who says anything adverse to the president’s interests gets the full weight of the federal government brought down on them.”
On Sunday, Vice President JD Vance defended the Bolton investigation.
Vice President JD Vance: “We’re in the very early stages of an ongoing investigation into John Bolton. I will say we’re going to let that investigation proceed. What I can tell you is that unlike the Biden DOJ and the Biden FBI, our law enforcement agencies are going to be driven by law, and not by politics.”
