Judge denies Trump’s request to block Bolton’s memoir

Washington: A federal judge on Saturday denied the Trump administration’s request to block the publication of former national security adviser John Bolton’s memoir.

“While Bolton’s unilateral conduct raises grave national security concerns, the government has not established that an injunction is an appropriate remedy,” Royce Lamberth, district judge for the District of Columbia, said in a memorandum order.

The order came days before the release of Bolton’s book, “The Room Where It Happened,” on Tuesday, which, according to Lamberth, “has been printed, bound, and shipped across the country”.
