WASHINGTON - Mr John Bolton urged a judge to toss aside the Trump administration's attempt to block the publication of his tell-all book about Mr Donald Trump, saying it's a"transparent" attempt to prevent the former national security adviser from revealing embarrassing facts about the president's conduct in office.
"It is difficult to conceive of speech that is closer to the core of the First Amendment than speech concerning presidential actions in office, including actions at the heart of the President's impeachment," Mr Bolton said Thursday in a filing in Washington federal court. A hearing on the government's request is scheduled for Friday - a quick turnaround given that the book is due to be released on June 23.
The US sued Mr Bolton on Tuesday for breach of contract, and followed up Wednesday with a request for a restraining order and an injunction to stop the publication of the book.
