John Bolton plans to publish a tell-all about his time in the White House in late June

Source: Washington Post

John Bolton is forging ahead with plans to publish a scathing memoir about his time in President Trump’s White House and is in negotiations with network television channels to promote the book, according to people familiar with the talks.

Bolton, who served as national security adviser from April 2018 to September 2019, plans to publish “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir” on June 23, after embarking on a media tour to promote the book the weekend before, according to people with knowledge of the negotiations who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.

The White House has not formally signed off on the tome, and officials in the Trump administration have delayed the book for months due to a classification review process led by the National Security Council.

The president has said that Bolton should not publish the book until after the election and has called him a “traitor” in private for writing a negative tell-all book, The Washington Post has previously reported.

He could have told his story in court and helped make history. No, he showed us that he has no more morals than anyone else in the current administration.

PUBLISH THE DAMN THING! What are you waiting for?

WTF?!

Hey, Bolton!

Don't you realize that you missed your big chance a couple of months ago?

What are you?

An idiot like Trump?

Why doesn't he just crawl back into the dark crevices where he belongs. He had one shot to redeem himself and he blew it.

This is what, the 6th or 7th Trump lackey who couldn't wait to cash in on a tell-all book deal after they were no longer useful?

If it is truthful, President Biden won't bother to have AG Kamala prosecute him.

He's already gotten his advance. He shouldn't receive any further monetary gain.
