COMMENT
Could Bolton’s book be the last nail in the coffin of Trump’s political career?
EXPLOSIVE MEMOIRS
Leaked bombastic details from a book ‘Trump doesn’t want you to read’, it is now clear why
District Judge Royce Lamberth ruled Saturday that John Bolton , a former U.S. National Security Adviser to US President Donald Trump , may publish his memoir "The Room Where It Happened: Memoirs from the White House" despite the White House's desire to prevent them from leaving. because they contain confidential information, writes the Associated Press .
Judge Lamberth said when announcing his decision that he was concerned that Bolton was "gambling with U.S. national security" when he decided to publish the memoirs without the permission of the White House, which says it has not yet reviewed the former national security adviser's memoirs. "He exposed his country to trouble, and himself to civil and potentially criminal responsibility," he said. "These facts, however, do not control the case before this court. The state has failed to prove that the ban will prevent the creation of irreparable damage."
This court decision, as well as the fact that it is an election year in the United States, means that the memoirs will reach a larger audience. The “room where it happened” is set to come out on Tuesday, June 23, and deals with Bolton’s tenure as Trump’s national security adviser that lasted about a year and a half. After the verdict was announced on Twitter, Trump stated that Bolton "broke the law" when he published "huge amounts of confidential information." "He has to pay a very high price for it, as many before him paid. This must not happen again," the US president wrote.
Trump said back Monday that Bolton would break the law if he published his memoirs because all talks with the U.S. president were classified as secret. Attorney General William Barr then said that Bolton had not completed the process required to publish the book and that the Department of Justice was trying to convince him that it had to delete the classified information. The United States filed a lawsuit Tuesday against former National Security Adviser John Bolton in an attempt to block the publication of his book, which they say contains confidential information and will jeopardize national security.
The Washington Post on Wednesday published excerpts from Bolton’s memoirs in which, among other things, it says that Trump asked his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to help him win this year’s election. Trump, according to Bolton, told Xi during a summit last year that increasing Chinese purchases of products from U.S. farmers would increase his chances of winning a new term.
The request to Xi is just one in a series of meetings that Bolton described in the book, during which Trump asked autocratic leaders for favors. Many of them, Bolton argues, often tried to manipulate him.
For example, in a phone call in May 2019, Russian President Vladimir Putin compared Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido to Hillary Clinton , all to increase support for Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. Putin's comparisons, Bolton writes, convinced Trump.
In the book, Bolton also recalled many pearls that Trump used to break in conversations with his associates or world leaders. So he asked former White House chief of staff John Kelly if Finland was part of Russia. During a meeting with then-British Prime Minister Theresa May, the journalist referred to the United Kingdom as a nuclear power to which Trump asked, 'Oh, are you a nuclear power?'
In another insane speech, Trump said that an invasion of Venezuela would be just ‘cool’ and that the South American country was “actually part of the US”. Also, the US president has constantly mixed up the former and current president of Afghanistan, while Xiu said that the US people yearn for changes to the Chinese constitution so that he can remain president for more than two terms.
In a great desire to make friends with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Trump decided to bring him many gifts, but in order to violate US sanctions with these gifts, he had to give it up. But for the young dictator, he prepared a CD 'Rocket Man' by Elton John, which the British singer signed. Trump once gave Kim the nickname 'Rocket Man', and with this gesture he wanted to show that it was not a criticism, but a sign of love. Pompeo was in charge of handing Kim the CD, but as the Secretary of State did not see Kim during the Singapore summit, the gift was not even given to him.
Trump called Bolton a "liar" and a "fool" after the clips were released, and claimed he was "incompetent." "He said all the good things about me, in the press, until I fired him. A disgruntled boring fool who just wanted to wage war," Trump wrote on Twitter on Thursday
