Federal judge strikes down the Trump Justice Department's last-ditch effort to stop John Bolton from releasing his explosive book
National Security Advisor John Bolton listens to U.S. President Donald Trump talk to reporters during a meeting of his cabinet in the Cabinet Room at the White House February 12, 2019 in Washington, DC.A federal judge in Washington on Saturday denied the Trump Administration's request to stop the publication of former national security adviser John Bolton's upcoming memoir about the White House.
"Defendant Bolton has gambled with the national security of the United States. He has exposed his country to harm and himself to civil liability. But these facts do not control the motion before the Court," Judge Royce Lamberth wrote.A federal judge on Saturday struck down the Trump administration's last-ditch effort to stop former national security adviser John Bolton from publishing his explosive book.
On Monday, President Donald Trump warned of "legal consequences" against Bolton if he releases his book and claimed, falsely, that all conversations with the president are classified. The NSC "quickly identified significant quantities of classified information that it asked Defendant to remove," the complaint said. "An iterative process between NSC Staff and Defendant then began, as required by the binding agreements he signed, with changes to the book and other information being securely passed between Defendant and NSC staff. Soon, though, Defendant apparently became dissatisfied at the pace of NSC's review.
Bolton countered by saying the Trump administration is trying to stifle free speech by moving to block his book from being released.
