Bolton: I 'Really Hope' My Book Isn't 'Suppressed' By Trump

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton said on Monday night that he was concerned that President Donald Trump and the White House would try to muzzle his tell-all book, “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir.”


“I hope, ultimately, I can get the book published,” Bolton told the audience at an event at Duke University, his first public appearance since the beginning of the impeachment proceedings against Trump. “I hope it’s not suppressed.”

The former adviser slammed the White House’s “censorship” of his book with its lengthy pre-publication review of the manuscript for “classified information.”

Bolton, who had refused to testify in the House’s impeachment investigation, refused to divulge any information regarding Trump’s Ukraine pressure campaign, coyly suggesting that people ought to read his upcoming book (scheduled to be released on March 17) instead.

You sell out the country and you can't even get your book published! Those whiny kids in cages, denied medical care, think they have it so tough. Well, let me tell you crybabies that John Bolton is the real victim in all of this!

I'd make an exception!

Perhaps that'll make johnny boy talk. The only reason he's refusing to talk is to sale his damn book.

So, go ahead and keep it under lock and key mr.pResident. They really both deserve each other.
