John Bolton’s tell-all book is tentatively set for release next week. White House aides are anxiously waiting to see what, if any, damning information is contained between the covers.
With ex-national security adviser John Bolton’s tell-all tentatively set for release next week, White House aides are anxiously waiting to see what, if any, damning information is contained between the covers. In the meantime, they’ve activated the typical Trump team playbook for ex-staffers who decide to spill the administration’s innerworkings in print: lawsuits, character assassination on Twitter and presidential haranguing.
The lawsuit, a civil action filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges that Bolton risks “compromising national security by publishing a book containing classified information — in clear breach of agreements he signed as a condition of his employment.” Legal experts pointed out that there is significant risk for Bolton, although it was notable the publisher, Simon & Schuster, was not named in the lawsuit.
Reality television star-turned senior aide Omarosa Maningault Newman infuriated the president when she wrote an account of her time in the West Wing, “Unhinged,” that alleged Trump is a “racist, misogynist and bigot” who had used the “n-word” repeatedly. Another memoir by a Trump aide, Cliff Sims, revealed some embarrassing anecdotes about the president.
Just one month after Bolton’s acrimonious departure from the administration, the ex-adviser announced his plans to write a book about his experience in the White House. According to the publisher, the book will reveal “chaos in the White House, sure, but also assessments of major players, the president’s inconsistent, scattershot decision-making process, and his dealings with allies and enemies alike.
For months, the 592-page memoir has been the subject of a public spat between the White House and the publisher, Simon & Schuster, as the National Security Council reviewed the manuscript for classified information. Bolton’s attorney was informed that the review process was completed in late April, but last week, the NSC informed Bolton that further review was needed.
