National Security Council Says No Other Staffers Saw Book

“The National Security Council denied Monday that any White House personnel outside of its purview had seen the manuscript of former national security adviser John Bolton’s book that was submitted to the White House for review,” Axios reports.

“Given that White House counsel Pat Cipollone is not part of the NSC, this statement appears to double as an on-the-record denial that anyone on President Trump’s impeachment defense team reviewed Bolton’s manuscript.”
