The court did not accept a request from the US Department of Justice to block the publication of a memoir from former White House National Security Adviser John Bolton.
According to Associated Press on the 20th of the local time, Judge Royce Rambus of the US District Court in Washington, DC, said former advisors to Bolton may continue to publish memoirs.
But Judge Rambus pointed out that the publication of former aide by Bolton raises serious national security concerns.
The former aide of Bolton's memoir'The Room That Occurred' is scheduled to be published on the 23rd, but the Trump administration has filed a civil lawsuit to postpone the publication on the 16th, stating that the memoir contains a lot of confidentiality.
Then, on the 17th, major contents of the memoir were reported to major media such as the WP and The New York Times.
On the same day, the Trump administration asked the court to issue an emergency order to suspend the memoirs.
The memoir contains many stories surrounding the North American summit in Singapore, along with revelations that President Trump begged Xi Jinping for a re-election victory.
