Pentagon Holds Up Ex-Official’s Book

August 30, 2019 · 8:30 am ET · Leave a Comment

Wall Street Journal: “A former Pentagon official charged in a lawsuit Thursday that the Defense Department has delayed a review of his tell-all book about Jim Mattis to benefit the former defense secretary, whose own book will be published next week.”

“Lawyers representing Guy Snodgrass, Mr. Mattis’s former communications director and speechwriter, said the Defense Department has demanded that chapters of the book be redacted.”
