One of the people who had a big part to play during the impeachment trials of President Donald Trump earlier in the year was former National Security Adviser. Now, as his upcoming memoir, The Room Where it All Happened, faces a lawsuit from the Justice Department, the publishing company Simon & Schuster revealed its response.
Deadline reports that the publisher released a statement in response to the lawsuit filed against Bolton by the Department of Justice, asking Bolton to postpone the release of his book. In the statement, they dismissed the lawsuit as another attempt by the Trump administration through the Justice Department to silence or block the publication of a book that they deem is “unflattering” to the President. The publisher also defended Bolton and detailed that the former aide actively cooperated with the National Security Council prior to publication to address the concerns.
According to the lawsuit, Bolton committed a breach in the nondisclosure agreement and did not complete the required review process to make sure that the book did not contain any information that was considered classified. The officials involved in handing the lawsuit are now seeking a court order to force Bolton to delay the release until the review is completed.
However, Bolton has already taped an interview with ABC News regarding the upcoming book. A one-hour special about the book is also set to air on Sunday. The network has not made any plans to postpone the broadcast but rather released a new ad for it as well.
Bolton is not the only one whom the administration appears to target with his upcoming memoir. Trump’s own niece, Mary Trump is also set to release her own tell-all memoir which reveals her relationship with her uncle. Mary Trump’s memoir, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man will be hitting the stores on July 28th, also published by Simon & Schuster.
Mary Trump is the daughter of Donald Trump’s older brother Fred Trump Jr. who passed away at 42 years old due to alcohol abuse. Although the president has been briefed by his lawyers, reports have surfaced that he is planning to sue her for also supposedly breaching a non-disclosure agreement she signed in 2001.
According to a former political adviser to Trump, Sam Nunberg, Trump will most likely be more upset at his niece’s book than Bolton’s. “It’s about family. It’s about personal betrayal…”
