BREAKING: Just one week before the release of John Bolton’s much-awaited book, the Trump administration is expected to file a federal lawsuit to block it from being released in its current form, sources tell ABC News.

Trump's former national security adviser defended his decision not to share what information he may know about the president's involvement in activities in Ukraine until after his book is published.

National security adviser John Bolton adjusts his glasses as President Donald Trump speaks while meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, April 2, 2019.In a description of the coming book, Bolton’s publisher says, “What Bolton saw astonished him: a President for whom getting reelected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation.

The NSC claimed the book continued to contain “significant amounts” of classified information, but Bolton’s lawyer pushed back, claiming that none of it “could reasonably be considered classified.” “This last-minute allegation came after an intensive four-month review, after weeks of silence from the White House, and -- as Mr. Eisenberg admits in his letter -- after press reports alerted the White House that Mr. Bolton’s book would be published on June 23,” Cooper wrote.

I bet he hasn't even read it.

Why you care of that book for ?

With what Bolton has on Trump , I think Trump should look for a good lawyer ! It's not necessary to be a brain surgeon to see how crooked this bastard is ! We'll find out a lot more when Congress begins to open an investigation on all Trump's anti constitution and law breaking !

A little late. Also...who gives a shit about John?

Hope012015 If the leaks are “fake news”, it’s not actually classified.

🤣😂 these clowns

He absolutely had no right to try to publish that book without having it vetted first by the federal governmnt. John Bolton is insane & he’s a hater & he needs to go away. Somebody needs to put him in a locked loony-bin!! It’s people like his ass that are selling out our country!

Has such a jerk!!!

Criminal conversions!!! You are the one in trouble Dump!!!

Did anybody notice the seating cards? It just says, The President, like we have many presidents and no one knew who was showing up. 😂

Excellent cinematography/videographer!

Trump will declare himself to be a black trans and he can do whatever he wants.

What are you afraid of? You blocked all witnesses in the impeachment trial. What are you hiding?

But I think you would have more criminal problems. I would hope so.

This is incredible! Claiming that you haven't read the book but afraid as hell for its content!

Idiot

You have been impeached!

I guess exposing Trump is criminal. New meaning of dictatorship

Didn’t his daughter use private emails And didn’t he use private cell phones for his work too? He’s such a lying scum who thinks everyone else is breaking laws when he abd his family do the same thing.. I hope all this bites him in the ass..

Does Trump have some CROOKED skeletons to hide from American people?

45 is so full of s..t!

(`∀´)Ψ

Why so worried? Everything’s confidential with this guy. Captain NDA himself. Only criminals and liars act like this.

What is the CrookintheWhitehouse trying to hide here ComesNovemberComesJustice BunkerBoy

He’s a treat.

Fake news verbiage being dumped onto the heads of intelligent Americans. Trump has never read & comprehended the Constitution. Bolton's book will be out soon!

He just spins lies

VoteOutLyingCorruptTrumpAndGOP

Trump you break it all the time.

Bunker boy is running scared oneanddone

Can’t wait to read it !

Horse s

So, the coolest thing is Trump would have to prove his accusation in open court. Donald, tell us more ...

Birds of a feather

So much in this video: chump admits needed “trick” to get Bolton in, then illustrates Barr is HIS personal attorney, admits his former NSA is a liar, etc

I'd buy that book. He should publish it outside the states.

Let him tell all and let’s see how honest you are! I believe you are the one that should be in prison

As if realDonaldTrump knows anything about the law lol, shut up bro...

'I would think Trump would have criminal problems, once SCOTUS rules in a few weeks, on making his taxes public. I would hope so.'

Still a million times better than this stooge , but the sheep will disagree

these cover-ups have to stop

I always wondered about this too

It's not like he is talking about this

looks like he's working hard to control that right arm. TrumpIsNotWell

Why is he crossing his arms? It just gives an unprofessional, “I don’t care” sort of look. Not Presidential. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Donnie, you managed to appoint a number of non Senate confirmed people with your trick of saying they were just 'acting' in the position. And your convos are not classified.

What are you so afraid of “the Donald”?

What law? Publishing a controversial book about a president? I think it's been done before. To my knowledge no author or publisher has gone to prison. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Lololol POTUS is lits psycho

John Bolton should just release the book now before he gets stopped. At least on digital format. He’s Trump’s enemy anyway so what does he have to lose?

kramkong must be a good book if these lil bitches are whining so much

No. Read the constitution, dumb ass, I mean POTUS

So now we at least all know that what's in the book is true.

Is he going to get baBarr to put him in jail? 🤣😀😂

🙄

Could little Trumpy be worried about what his boy Bolton might say?

🤦🏻‍♂️

Then I will be buying it and reading it. Anything that is a crime to you, truly isn’t

If Bolton cared be leak the book online

Another Trump coverup. Whether the book gets published or not the character of Trump and the Republican Senate has been tarnished forever. Remember your best reaction will be to vote in November for anybody but a Republican.

“Any conversation with President is classified “ That’s it !!!😂😂😂

Not gong to happen you can only hope.... His legal team says it’s good to go so F—K - YOU!!!!!

What trump thinks and what is known are often two different things. Kinda like hydroxychloroquine. IDIOT.

His crime will be about denouncing a con-president!

Putin's apprentice?

The only reason is because he knows of all the corrupt shit you have done

The gov. watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington announced Friday that after more than three years of monitoring President Donald Trump's conduct, the president has hit a milestone, amassing more than 3,000 conflicts of interest between his biz & office

Under the bus for his ass

Trump and Bolton could have matching orange suits by January of next year.

Ah... you're scared!

The adult toddler Presidency shaking his rattle.

In trumps world its illegal to tell the truth.

Bill Barr, criminal lawyer

Like we hope he has criminal problems when he leaves office

Scared ? POTUS

StevenHarp_ Trump and Bolton are in it together to sell the book. That’s it...

Please release it , please

It should be released..second amendment right

As is his right, he is a sitting president

Why? Whats in it?

Trump should be imprisoned for endangering lives by holding rallies.

You don’t want people to read it because he know the real truth something you know nothing about!! What’s the matter mr president are you scared of what’s in the book

All conversations between Trump and the voices in his head are now classified.

realDonaldTrump Sense when is breaking the law a problem for you? You break the law EVERYDAY and seem to be just fine with it.

Just tell him that it’s all good things about him. You know he won’t read it.

Why aren't Trumps Tweets a security violation? Asking without sarcasm. Curious.

Nightline Speaking of people who don't tell the truth..alot..as Trump puts it.. we've got to do more to call him out in his blatant lying..

All they’ve done here is give the information high credibility.

Mr. Law Breaker says what? PresidentBoneSpurs NationalObamaDay TrumpForPrison2020

Media never catches on the minute he golds his arms he's defensive and about to tell a lie. TheTell

How could Bolton have only worked for a short period of time and he was there for a year and a half Almost half of his presidency. Does he know how time works?

Lol, he is the criminal and doesn't want to be exposed on that level

Said the guy with a zillion criminal problems.

ursula_wanza No surprise he is going to abuse his power again, with the blessings of the corrupt AG.

Freedom of the press is being stifled.

And trump is concerned about “breaking federal law” because...?

Haaaaa hes peeing his pants right now .. hes so scared abt the thibgs this book will reveal

You’re the criminal!

He should know. He’s broken more Federal laws than anyone I know and he’s gotten away with it, so far. I’m still hoping for retribution the day he leaves office.

You're going to be finding out shortly yourself~

Just wait and see what he does when his niece's book is released!

Does anyone really care.

He keeps repeating the same phrases over and over. His mind is shot. TrumpIsNotWell

“Complete a process.” Haha! There was never going to be an end to any process devised by the AG that was going to ok the publication of Bolton’s book! I love watching them sweat this. Yet another Trump lieutenant that has turned on him. Only the best people!

he probably crosses his arms because his hands shake.

Just because you hope something doesn’t make it so. I know because I’ve been hoping you’ll go away.

I can’t wait till Mary Trump’s book comes out - his niece via his older brother now deceased....

Wow, our potus makes up laws and crimes that don’t exist. UnfitToBePresident

Lol he looks so uncomfortable, the way he crosses his arms like a pouting child like that

'Cue the corrupt AGBarr of TheJusticeDept to continue to be the 'president's' footstool and do his bidding.'

lisamurkowski SenatorCollins SenToomey This is your guy?

I suppose after November that won't be a problem

There must be some interesting things in this book that Bunker Baby doesn’t want revealed

Criminal liability , straight from the horses mouth. What will he do to his niece and when her book comes out

VoteBlue✌🏼💙2020 No more clowns🤡🤡

Deplorable donald should wrestle it’s ok to make fun of my wife Ted.

Seriously who voted for this guy? He literally NEVER says anything and when he does, he has no idea of the laws or the Constitution. He reveals info to Russia in the OVAL and he’s gonna stress on Bolton? Seriously Trumplicans, raise your bar

Agent Orange is nervous... Makes me want to read that book.

omg.. anytime he speaks now I only see sarahcpr and count the minutes until she posts something..😏

Shouldn’t Bolton be more concerned with that than trump?

For those who missed it... the REAL story today. OK, if we get rid of speed detectors, there will no longer be speeders. (Trump logic)

All of them are nervous. Good.

Bolton couldn't have a better PR team pimping his book. I wasn't even interested before these guys got all righteous.

Trump’s going to be having his OWN criminal problems to worry about.

Trump: the law is what I say it is.

Your screwed

TheView I would like to know the amount of money 45 has spent on attorneys and suing people. Instead of filing bankruptcy multiple times, he could’ve paid his debts.

Excellent trolling by the camera person, focusing in on a completely mute Pence.

Say 'senate confirmed' again.

Please repeat the lines again, we didn't get you the first 10x

Who cares!

Awe so sad for cry baby Trump 😂

NO HE WOULDN’T! Even your “I would hope...” and “I would think..” says you aren’t sure yourself. Bozo! Otherwise why do you have NDAs?

Oh look at TraitorTrump with his arms crossed. The gig is up soon.

Sic ‘em boy!

🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

TurkishStudentLivesMatter HEAR OUR VOICE!

I would think you would have legal problems first! realDonaldTrump

Crossed Arms = no idea what you or I are talking about

Disgusting

Somebody gots something to hiii-iide

You help to kill her

Anytime he mentions the attoney general, is it me or does his hopes usually come through?

The pot calling the kettle black... he is the stupidest person on the planet and universe.

Well he does have a point. The President Can classify his conversations.

I love the body language. You can tell when realDonaldTrump feels vulnerable about a subject matter.

Justice for DaphneCaruanaGalizia and all the Woman’s .

The timing of the Democrats BS is so obvious. Lol.

Watch how Trump anticipates and counters any issues this book may awaken. He’s a master of discredito.

Trump's the only one who's allowed to bully and name call 🤔

Freedom of speech!!!!

realDonaldTrump Darn those little things called rights. Freedom of press freedom of speech buddy. I’m sure you’ll find it a good read down in the bunker..except there’s no pictures. Nvm.

The doofus and the Republicans are petrified of facts

The question to ask realDonaldTrump KellyannePolls foxandfriends foxnewsalert what are they so afraid of? Truth Facts ?

Sounds like part of a promotional move.

🤡

TheView

Are you advertising the book by this broadcasting

Of course, he doesn’t want the TRUTH revealed. VoteTrumpOut

Bolton has responsibilities as a former employee. Can’t just talk about internal communications. This is with all levels of government.

The party of small government strikes again! What a laughing stock.

TheView Trump is afraid of Bolton.

Hope he will lose this one as well. At court they're tired of his fraud & stop every one to tell truth.

So much to hide this trump TaxReturns Medical book

TheView What are they going to do to Trump’s niece with her tell-all book coming out in August? Now that’s going to be a best seller!! foxandfriends realDonaldTrump TheLeadCNN

So much for the 1st amendment lol and his base pretends to be staunch Constitutionalist lol Trump is so damn fragile 😂

realDonaldTrump Free speech bitch.

No need. Ain't nobody got time to read this crap.

And the secrecy goes on! Still wondering how small the trump library will be since everything they’ve done is “classified” or falls under “executive privilege.” Nothing said or done that’s above board/legal needs to be hidden.

CENSORSHIP. Is Trump trying to use the the federal court system for personal reasons?

Trump the liar ....

Aww POTUS afraid of the truth.

Sorry Trump. You're toast!RESIST THE MADNESS before it's too late!!!

Let him release it! Nobody's going to buy it...

TheView Why does Trump worry? His followers think he’s the best, and close their ears to truth. His followers won’t read this book anyway.

Suck it up!

TheView BoycottBoltonBook

Shocker.

Hahahahahahaha. Fuck Bolton.

Politics It wont sway his supporters. Just more BS. Wont even think of reading it. Another attempted coup.

Freedom of speech?

Someone is having a bad week!! Wow!! Trump is not in tune with most of America,,, 😢😢😢❤️🇺🇸

Doallas I'm finding this funny. Trump and Co. seem to be just trying to put out one fire after another. Is their any policy making going on now or is it all just chaos and campaigning till november?

TheView B-b-but freedom of speech? No?

TheView Scaredy-cat

No revelations of his CROOKEDNESS?

Once his presidency ends we'll see a true account of his chaos and incompetence

Hmmm... Wasn’t there a thing called the First Amendment?

TheView Oh, listen little girls don't be afraid of some printed book.

Wants to block a book being published huh? Sounds like Trump don’t want people to know. Wake up people. Disgrace

TheView what he scared of the truth

TheView What is Trump afraid of? Welcome To Tyranny..

Politics ROTFLMAO

That Donnie Boi sure does love the lawyers.

the toddler in chief sure hates the 1st Amendment right to free speech.

Fake news, trump knows it’s all hate and revenge for Bolton’s firing! Readers know why and what’s going to be in it!

What on earth it need to be stop there must be a very important detail story inside this book interesting.

TheView On what basis? That everything in it is true?

Yea, let’s delay it to just before the election so we can be freshly reminded what a craven Blow Hard you are!

I hate that an injunction could be so last minute, without any new revelations that call for it. This should’ve been done weeks ago if there was an issue.

What innocent people do of course.

TheView FREEDOM OF SPEECH, REMEMBER.

I ain’t buying it.

Bolton is more leftovers of the old ways which now just get our troops killed having one hand & one leg tied behind their backs by bureaucratic stupidity. Their job is to unleash hell on our enemies with an exact goal in mind. not play police to a pack of cave dwellers

Publish the book on the Internet! Cannot stop it! Publish the pages as leaked! They can only try to prosecute after everyone reads the truth! After it’s been read there is no privilege and it will show there was no privilege, rather a cover up!

When your corrupt and have something to hide , you obstruct justice and block things from being made public , what a clown 🤡

Nightline The truth hurts!

The deep state hates when the state is used against them

Cute sales techniques, maybe you’ll be on the streets selling tic tacs after this.

Ha. Obstruction. FREEDOM OF SPEECH. realDonaldTrump cnnbrk

“Much-awaited” is stretching it a bit. I understand there is an interview Sunday at 9pm. Much better viewing options at that time and reading material available anyway.

Politics Bolton is an angry nutjob. His book is suspect mainly because of his instability.

Wait until it's at a thrift store for $1

Politics 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Politics there's no many waiting for his book from what I'm reading

Politics Surely there are copies of this book just waiting to be distributed in book stores AND Surely there are thousands of copies sitting in a warehouse. What are the chances of a leak? LOL

Although I think Bolton is such a coward I want to read this book.

So they want to restrain publication...prior to it being released...there's a term for that and it has many, many times been held to be unconstitutional.

Blocking people from seeing histaxreturns; blocking people from testifying before the house ans senate, blocking peoplefrom publishing books. Much of histime and energy his devoted to BLOCKING. Why? To hide something? Why hide things; every thing?

Of course!

It must need auditing like his taxes🙄 Mary Trump is about to spill the tea on the CON JOB .realDonaldTrump also

L😂L. Good luck with that. It's like Mr. Blonde asks in Reservoir Dogs, 'You gonna bark all day little doggy?'

Of course he’s trying to block it. It’s who he is.....a weak lying lifelong con man

🤣

Trump reeeeaaaallly doesn't get the Streisand effect, huh

Something to hide, mr. Trump?

So the president gets to proofread it before its release?

are they going to tear gas all the barnes & noble?

啊哈哈哈哈哈哈。

Fair... too close to an election... LEFTIST interference in the process.

What? More crap you (Trump) don't want out that exposes how inept your leadership is and more laws you broke. Bolton should be before Congress explaining to the American people and stop hiding Trumps actions.

but but....censorship!!!! it would almost be comical if the soul of the country was not in peril under this regime

Sir, better to face the music.

Hitting a little to close to the truth for you. Otherwise, you wouldn't care.

BRING FORWARD THE RELEASE DATE

Nobody cares about John Bolton and nobody cares about Trump and his snowflake lawsuits.

We already know how corrupt you’re!!!

I mean Bolton could've just testified when he had the opportunity instead of just trying to cash in. But he's always been a fake patriot so no surprise I guess.

I guess the first amendment only applies when it fits his needs

That would be censorship. Trump supporters love less freedom.
