Trump bids to block tell-all book by fired aide Bolton

DONALD Trump is suing his exnational security adviser in a bid to block a damning tell-all book about his presidency.

The Department of Justice claims John Bolton’s book The Room Where It Happened, due out next week and No 1 on Amazon’s US pre-sale list, will ‘compromise national security’.

But free speech campaigners say the lawsuit is ‘doomed to fail’ due to legal precedents.

Mr Trump fired defence hawk Mr Bolton in September over foreign policy disputes.

Publishers Simon & Schuster say his book will have first-hand accounts of private Oval Office meetings and they promise: ‘This is the book Donald Trump doesn’t want you to read.’

It will also reveal insider information on Mr Trump’s alleged pressure on Ukraine to investigate Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden, which led to impeachment hearings.

The President may also sue his own niece Mary, whose own memoir, due out in July, is subtitled How My Family Created The World’s Most Dangerous Man. She details a ‘strange and harmful relationship’ between Mr Trump and his father.
