President Donald Trump said Thursday he was not briefed on the FBI raid of former national security adviser John Bolton’s home, according to The Guardian.
Speaking during an unplanned visit to the “People’s House” exhibit near the White House, Trump said he only learned of the search from television reports.

Wearing a hat reading “Trump was right about everything,” the president criticized Bolton, calling him “a low life” and “not a smart guy.”
Trump added that Bolton could prove “very unpatriotic” and said he expects a briefing from the Justice Department later.
