Aides Accused of Intervening to Block Bolton’s Book

“White House aides improperly intervened to falsely assert that a manuscript by the former national security adviser John Bolton contained classified information in an attempt to prevent its contents from becoming public, a lawyer for the career official overseeing the book’s prepublication review said in a letter filed in court on Wednesday,” the New York Times reports.

“At one point, the aides halted a request from Mr. Bolton to review his account of President Trump’s dealings with Ukraine so he could release that section of the memoir during the impeachment trial.”
