The FBI’s early morning search of John Bolton’s home, authorized by a court, marks a significant escalation in President Trump’s efforts to prosecute political adversaries, particularly those who have publicly opposed him.

The Supreme Court unanimously reversed a lower court ruling dismissing a lawsuit against the federal government stemming from a wrongful FBI raid. The Court found the lower court incorrectly applied the Supremacy Clause, clarifying that a federal law allows lawsuits based on state tort law in cases like this. The case, involving an Atlanta family traumatized by a 2017 raid, will now proceed, allowing the 11th Circuit to consider the government’s liability for law enforcement’s mistakes.
