US President Donald Trump confirmed today, Saturday, that his former adviser John Bolton would pay a "heavy price" for breaking the law by publishing his book, which is an embarrassment to the US president a few months before the elections.
"Bolton broke the law, and he was summoned and reprimanded for it, and he will pay a heavy price," Trump wrote on Twitter, adding that Bolton "loves to throw bombs at people and kill them. Now the bombs will be thrown at him."
A US federal judge responded today to a request by the US administration to ban the publication of John Bolton, Trump's former national security adviser.
Judge Royce Lambert's decision stated that Bolton apparently did not obtain approval from the White House that his notes did not contain classified classified information.
The resolution continued: "While Bolton's unilateral behavior raises major national security concerns, the government has not been able to demonstrate that judicial prevention is the appropriate solution."
The book is now available in libraries and will start selling next week.
The judge said a review of the passages that the US administration claimed contained classified classified information gave him the conviction that Bolton's "publication of his book is likely to endanger national security".
