The memoirs of the former White House National Security Advisor John Bolton will go on sale today (23th). The White House sued the court to prevent the book from appearing because it contained a lot of confidential information, but was not accepted. Until the book appeared, we got the entire record of what happened between the White House and Bolton.

Take a look at the exclusive coverage of Correspondent Kim Soo-hyung and I will connect to Washington right away

<Reporter> This

is a handwritten security memorandum for former Bolton aides included in the trial ban on publication of Bolton memoirs.

A memorandum stating that leaking confidential information without permission is a criminal offense, Bolton signed twice on April 5, 2018, when he entered the White House, and on September 13, 2019, shortly after his resignation.

However, in January, when Bolton first submitted a draft for permission to publish a memoir, the White House turned over.

This is because it has determined that it contains a large number of top-class classifieds that could threaten national security.

Bolton meets with the White House representative four times to coordinate the book.

We left 39 handwritten notes as we discussed what we could and couldn't put in.

It contains CVIDs for North Korea's denuclearization, words for President Moon Jae-in, and Kim Jong-un's letters.

Still, there was no progress in coordinating the content, so the White House eventually made a list of 415 places that needed modification and deletion and handed it over to Bolton.

There are over 110 places on the Korean Peninsula alone.

It is known that Bolton did not reflect most of the White House's requests for modification and deletion.

The court criticized that Bolton was guilty of gambling with national security, but it was published through the media and the like, saying that there was no benefit to the publication, and the Bolton memoir was released today.

Correspondent Correspondent Kim Soo-hyung, former aide advisor to Bolton who wrote a security memorandum, might know that he could be punished, but why did you publish this book? 

<Reporter>

Starting today, Bolton's memoirs have been released on the market, but the readers' interest is as hot as the White House.

The reader's interest will soon lead to money.

It is known that Bolton's pre-paid income is about 2.5 billion won, but if the book sells well, additional income will be incurred, so it seems clear that Bolton will be sitting on the cushion.

A former Bolton adviser also revealed his dislike of President Trump after his resignation, and there are observations that these two reasons have made Bolton a Trump sniper.

There was a reason. If you look at the contents of the book, it seems that President Trump is very angry right now.

<Reporter>

President Trump has posted an article explaining the fact that the Bolton memoirs are actually distorted by President Trump.

Then, look, Bolton broke the law and said it was confidential information.

He also accused Bolton of the crazy, incompetent liar.

Then, did Bolton fight again in the November presidential election with the campaign to lose President Trump?

<Reporter>

Bolton's former aide also made it clear that his goal was to defeat President Trump.

Let's listen.

[John Bolton/Former White House National Security Adviser (Interview with ABC): I think it's important to think about what Americans will do in the November election. Our historian hopes to record Trump as a single deviation.] The

two men, who had a key staff relationship with the President, are in a muddy fight, where the Trump administration repeats his aides and the aides are anti-Trump greetings. It is becoming.
