Robert Hill called in sick to work when he heard about what was happening in his Bethesda, Maryland. Every major cable news network was broadcasting from a house just a few streets away, but Hill had to see it for himself.

Eyewitnesses reported a significant federal presence in the neighborhood. Lawfare’s Ben Wittes was seen livestreaming the scene online, and photographs taken shortly after the raid showed agents working behind a secured perimeter.

FBI agents were searching the Bethesda home of John Bolton, who served as national security adviser during Trump’s first term.
