The Justice Department demands records from Simon & Schuster after the Trump administration failed to halt publication of John Bolton's book.
Federal prosecutors have issued a grand jury subpoena to John Bolton's publisher as part of a criminal investigation into whether the former national security adviser unlawfully disclosed classified information in a recent book critical of President Donald Trump, a person with knowledge of the matter said Tuesday.
“With hundreds of thousands of copies around the globe – many in newsrooms – the damage is done," wrote U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth. "There is no restoring the status quo.” “Bolton has gambled with the national security of the United States,” the judge wrote. “He has exposed his country to harm and himself to civil liability. But these facts do not control the motion before the court. The government has failed to establish that an injunction will prevent irreparable harm.”
