Trump government lawsuit to block book of ex-adviser's book

Text by: Stefanie Schüler Follow

"This is the book Donald Trump does not want you to read": the editor of John Bolton, former adviser to President Donald Trump, did not think so well when announcing the release of his book which promises to be explosive for the republican billionaire. The US government launched legal action on Tuesday to try to block the publication.

Publicity

As a national security adviser, John Bolton, the man with the imposing white mustache, attended all the important meetings in the Oval Office between April 2018 and September 2019. And he meticulously noted each interview with the president and the other members of the administration.

Enough raw material to feed the portrait he paints of Donald Trump. A president who, according to the author, "  does not take a single important decision without it being guided by a calculation with a view to his re-election  ".

And its editor added: "  Even if it means endangering or weakening the nation  ". According to the book's summary, John Bolton would reveal several of Donald Trump's impeachable decisions, far beyond the only Ukrainian case that resulted in the President being charged with abuse of office before being acquitted by the Senate.

At a time when Donald Trump is in trouble in the polls, this work, written in addition by a pure conservative, risks being potentially explosive for his electoral campaign.
