Court Denies Trump’s Attempt To Block Bolton’s Book

Reuters reports:

A federal judge has denied a Trump administration request to block former national security adviser John Bolton’s book from being published.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth wrote in an order released Saturday that “while Bolton’s unilateral conduct raises grave national security concerns, the government has not established that an injunction is an appropriate remedy.”

The judge noted that the Justice Department’s push for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction comes after the book has been printed and shipped across the country ahead of its scheduled release on Tuesday.
