Fact check: Did John Bolton cooperate with the FBI during the raid?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, none of the sources contain information about John Bolton's cooperation with the FBI during the raid. The sources consistently report that the FBI conducted a court-authorized search of Bolton's home and office, but they do not address whether Bolton cooperated with federal agents during this process ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}.

The available information indicates that the FBI search was related to an investigation into Bolton's handling of classified materials ^{[3] [4]}. One source notes that Bolton has not been detained and no criminal charges have been filed, which could suggest cooperation or that the investigation remains ongoing, but this is not explicitly stated ^[5].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question assumes that information about Bolton's cooperation during the raid is publicly available, but the analyses reveal a significant gap in reporting on this specific aspect. The sources focus on:

• The fact that the search occurred and was court-authorized ^{[2] [3]}
• The investigation's connection to classified documents ^{[3] [4]}
• Political implications and reactions to the search ^{[6] [7]}
• Bolton's criticism of Trump's Ukraine policy in relation to the timing ^[7]

Missing context includes:

• Whether Bolton was present during the search
• His level of cooperation with federal agents
• Any statements from Bolton or his legal team about the process
• Details about what materials were sought or recovered

The analyses suggest that media coverage has focused more on the political ramifications rather than the procedural details of the search itself ^[6].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains an implicit assumption that Bolton's level of cooperation is established fact, when the analyses clearly show this information is not available in the sources examined. This could lead to:

• False premise: The question presupposes that cooperation details are known and reported
• Information gap: Readers might assume cooperation information exists when it doesn't appear in available reporting

The question itself is not necessarily biased, but it assumes the existence of information that the sources do not provide ^{[1] [2] [7] [6] [3] [4] [5] [8]}. One source was noted as irrelevant to the question entirely, appearing to be general YouTube information rather than news content about the Bolton investigation ^[9].
