Washington, United States:
A U.S. judge refused on Saturday to block the publication of a revealing book in which former President Donald Trump’s national security adviser describes him as corrupt and incompetent.
With the book already shipped to stores for sale next week, Judge Royce Lambert wrote that John Bolton appeared not to have obtained written approval from the White House that his memoirs did not contain anything classified.
“While Bolton’s unilateral conduct raises serious national security concerns, the government has not established that an injunction is an appropriate remedy,” the judge wrote.
The judge said that an examination of the passages which, according to the government, contain classified elements convinced him that Bolton “was probably endangering national security by the publication”.
The book, titled “The Room Where it Happened,” was widely shipped to bookstores for publication on Tuesday and many of his most damning allegations against Trump have been reported in the media.
This is a 17-month close-up portrait of Bolton with Trump, until his ouster in September.
The image – which Trump calls “fiction” – is ugly.
According to Bolton, a longtime Republican who stands firmly on the right of the party, Trump is not “fit for power”.
He describes Trump “imploring” Chinese President Xi Jinping in trade talks to increase his chances of re-election in November by buying more US agricultural products to help Trump win votes in the agricultural states.
