Former US national security adviser John Bolton can move forward in publishing his tell-all book, an American federal judge has ruled, despite efforts by the Trump administration to block the release

"Defendant Bolton has gambled with the national security of the United States. He has exposed his country to harm and himself to civil liability," Lamberth wrote. "But these facts do not control the motion before the Court. The government has failed to establish that an injunction will prevent irreparable harm."

Bolton's lawyer, Chuck Cooper, applauded Lamberth for denying the government's attempt to "suppress" the book. Publisher Simon & Schuster said the decision "vindicated the strong First Amendment protections against censorship and prior restraint of publication.

Bolton's team insisted that Bolton had spent months addressing White House concerns about classified information and that Bolton had been assured in late April by the official he was working with that the manuscript no longer contained any such material. Bolton's lawyers said the Trump administration's efforts to block the book were a pretext to censor him for an account that the White House found unfavorable.

"In taking it upon himself to publish his book without securing final approval from national intelligence authorities, Bolton may indeed have caused the country irreparable harm. But in the Internet age, even a handful of copies in circulation could irrevocably destroy confidentiality," Lamberth wrote."With hundreds of thousands of copies around the globe - many in newsrooms - the damage is done. There is no restoring the status quo," the judge wrote.
