Not long after the raid commenced, Patel posted a cryptic message on X, stating: "NO ONE is above the law... @FBI agents on mission."

The move comes just days after Bolton openly criticized U.S. tariff policy. His remarks were made a day ahead of the "high-stakes" summit between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday.

In a post on X last week, Bolton wrote: "When Trump slapped tariffs on India for buying Russian oil, but not China which also purchases Russian oil, it may have pushed India further into the Beijing-Moscow axis. This lack of focus by the Trump Admin is an unforced error." He was referring to Trump's decision to impose an additional 25 percent tariff on India over its Russian oil imports, bringing the total levies to 50 percent.
