A US judge refused on Saturday to block the release of the explosive book of Donald Trump's former adviser, John Bolton, where he flayed the president-candidate. John Bolton "posed a risk to the national security of the United States" and "put his country in danger," said the judge of the federal court of Washington, Royce Lamberth, in his decision. But "the government has failed to establish that a ban would prevent irreparable damage. His request is therefore dismissed, ”he concluded.
Justice Lamberth noted that the book had already been widely circulated and that it was now "an open secret". According to the editor, more than 200,000 copies have already been sent to bookstores across the country. The judge acknowledged that John Bolton did not appear to have asked the White House for "written permission" before publication, which would have certified that there were no "classified" items in the book.
A book that destroys Trump's presidency
Entitled The Room Where it Happened , the book chronicles the author's 17 months with the occupant of the Oval Office as a national security adviser in 2018-2019. In this vitriolic book, the former adviser to the White House fuels the image of an incompetent American president on the international scene, mocked by senior officials of his own administration and expressing his thirst for re-election on November 3 before the interest of the country.
BIG COURT WIN against Bolton. Obviously, with the book already given out and leaked to many people and the media, nothing the highly respected Judge could have done about stopping it ... BUT, strong & powerful statements & rulings on MONEY & on BREAKING CLASSIFICATION were made ... .
