Federal Judge Rules John Bolton's Book Can Be Released

John Bolton's memoir faced legal challenges from the White House, which attempted to block its publication due to national security concerns. U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ruled that while Bolton may have risked national security by not completing the formal review process, the government could not constitutionally prevent the book's release. The book, already distributed to stores and media, was deemed impossible to stop. The Justice Department filed a lawsuit to block the release, but Bolton's legal team argued the White House was trying to suppress criticism of President Trump's administration.
