of Bolton's book, which includes detailed accounts of private White House meetings and Trump's interactions with foreign leaders.
Prosecutors suing Bolton alleged that multiple passages in the book included highly classified information that would cause irreparable harm to national security. "The NSC has determined that information in the manuscript is classified at the Confidential, Secret and Top Secret levels," DOJ attorneys said in a June 2020 court filing."We accordingly do not believe that prepublication review is required," Cooper wrote to the Trump administration National Security Council in 2019, ahead of the book's publication."We are nonetheless submitting this manuscript out of an abundance of caution.
A federal judge overseeing the case, Royce Lamberth, subsequently issued a ruling that seemed to spell trouble for Bolton, after officials briefed Lamberth in a private setting on specific passages of the book that they said included classified information."This was Bolton's bet: If he is right and the book does not contain classified information, he keeps the upside ...
Bolton moved to publish the book last summer over the objections of the White House after he said the pre-publication review process had been politicized by officials acting at President Trump's behest.
While it seems like a wise move, Bolton is no Dem sympathizer. Trumps lawsuit was only to protect himself, but I still don't trust Bolton.
