The Justice Department is suing John Bolton over the former national security adviser’s memoirs, which are scheduled to be published later this month over the White House’s objections.
The lawsuit asks the court to order Bolton to both complete the prepublication review process and stop the publication and dissemination of his book “as currently drafted.” The government included a series of exhibits in the complaint, including Bolton’s signed nondisclosure agreement to access classified information, and released an email from the director of the National Security Council’s Records Access and Information Security Management directorate to Bolton’s lawyer Charles Cooper. The email warns that Bolton’s plans to release his manuscript “imminently” violate the terms of his prepublication review agreement.
A spokesperson for Bolton declined to comment. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
What are they afraid of?
The ultimate “prior restraint” scenario, no? It’s a constitutional lawyer’s dream case. Time for one of the advance copies to be leaked out, at least to members of Congress? Will Trump have the DOJ sue to prevent publication of his niece’s damning book as well? 😂
trump running scared. Big, old, weak liar
It’s the shitgibbon legal team. There is no longer a justice department in the U.S..

Interfering with free speech?
