The White House told former national security advisor John Bolton that a book reportedly containing damaging evidence for President Donald Trump cannot be published because it breaks secrecy laws. The warning was made in a letter to Bolton's lawyer dated January 23 but only made public on Wednesday
Washington - The White House told former national security advisor John Bolton that a book reportedly containing damaging evidence for President Donald Trump cannot be published because it breaks secrecy laws.
The National Security Council said after preliminary review of the manuscript -- a vetting process applied to any White House employees writing books -- that it contained"significant amounts of classified information." Democrats are pressing for the Senate to subpoena Bolton after reports that his White House memoir"The Room Where it Happened" corroborates the abuse-of-power impeachment charge against Trump.
Several hours before the NSC letter went public, Trump lashed out at Bolton on Twitter, saying he had written a"nasty & untrue book. All Classified National Security."
