John Bolton can seek evidence about the classification process around his book in case there was bad faith decision-making by the White House and intelligence community meant to protect President Trump politically, a federal judge has ruled

Former national security adviser John Bolton can seek evidence about the classification process around his book in case there was bad faith decision-making by the White House and intelligence community meant to protect President Donald Trump politically, a federal judge ruled on Thursday.

The court case over whether the federal government can take Bolton's proceeds related to the book will continue. Bolton maintains he didn't intend to reveal classified information and believed the Trump administration classified information about the President after the book had gone through almost all needed approval steps.

He will be able to seek some evidence from junior government officials at first and must get the judge's approval before continuing.
