@George-K said in Trump sues to block Bolton book:
For the record, I have no dislike of "The 'Stache." As people have said, he's smart, savvy, and very, very opionated.
Regarding the lawsuit, however, a judge ruled, today, that the lawsuit can proceed:
Catherine Herridge Tweets:
Judge Lamberth denies former NSA John Bolton’s motion to dismiss government’s lawsuit against him, in which DOJ claims Bolton disclosed classified information in his book, "The Room Where It Happened." Judge Lamberth found, “the government sufficiently alleges that Bolton breached his prepublication review and predisclosure consultation obligations" + “sufficiently alleges that Bolton breached his nondisclosure obligations.” NOTE: Count 3 - government entitled to “constructive trust” over royalties.
(I didn't embed the tweet so that some wouldn't be triggered, LOL)
I read this a while ago, so my information might be out of date. But the way I understand it: Bolton went through the classified info review process and didn't receive any further edits, but didn't get approval either.
So - he wasn't approved to publish, but he wasn't getting any suggestions for changes/remove of classified info either.
I think his position would be that he was being held up by red tape.
Should be interesting.
