Trump fails to prevent publication of Bolton book

Washington DC District Court Judge Royce Lamberth rejected a request by President Donald Trump to stop publication of a book by former National Security Adviser John Bolton, which presents an unflattering picture of the president. The government, said the judge, had “failed to establish that an injunction would prevent irreparable harm”. Mr Bolton had “gambled” with US national security and already exposed his country to harm, the judge added. The book, “The Room Where it Happened,” goes on sale on Tuesday.
