Former national security adviser John Bolton is planning to publish his tell-all memoir about his tenure in the Trump administration later this month, despite the White House's efforts to block its publication.

Sources familiar with Bolton's plans told The Washington Post that the book, "The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir," will be published on June 23, while the former Trump administration official will give interviews promoting it the weekend before.

The news comes despite reports in February indicating that President Trump himself had sought to block publication of Bolton's memoir until after he left office. Bolton is reportedly planning to release the book even without White House approval, as he reportedly believes there is no classified information in the text.

“We’re going to try and block the publication of the book,” Trump reportedly told news anchors during an off-the-record meeting. “After I leave office, he can do this. But not in the White House.”

It's unclear whether the president has seen the contents of Bolton's memoir, but in January, he blasted the book as "nasty & untrue" and full of "classified national security" secrets.

The 'room where it happened' is of course, the Oval Office.

I don't know how relevant it is but the title, 'The Room Where it Happened' is also a song from the musical 'Hamilton'

"The Room Where It Happens" actually functions as a patch over a hole in the Hamilton narrative. ... "No one else was in the room where it happened," Hamilton's Aaron Burr, played by Leslie Odom Jr., sings. "No one really knows how the game is played/ The art of the trade/ How the sausage gets made/ We just assume that it happens."

Full court press. That I for sure. Deep State really showing itself. Enemies o the people out in e open. These guys were never good losers. The President really pisses them off.👍

Bolton has been waiting patiently for his close up since last September. He will not be denied the spotlight, so he thinks.

[haircutter]

JOHN BOLTON...like Romney, and GWB...

He will self destruct and have no Fan Base..I for one won’t waste a penny on a books full of B.S. and FAIRYTALES. AND THAT IS WHAT POLITICIANS ALL SPREAD...and Dear John is just another run of the mill, Professional Politician....

Pray for America to survive this nonsense...sick of all Politicians on both sides of the aisle with their DIRTY HANDS..

They say it was off-the-record yet quote what the President said. LOL

Bolton is a Quisling, apparently.

Bolton and 'others' have been waiting for the moment to 'drop the bombshell' they believe they have.

I'm wondering why it's not being released as an "October Surprise".

John Bolton is just a paid stooge of the Saudi royal family.

[Gene Eric]

Trump unfortunately trusted the cabal of jackasses.

[MountainWalker]

Can’t believe at one time I admired John Bolton. Trump’s election has been clarifying beyond measure.

[Songcraft]

Backfire-bullseye!

(I had to look up that picture, and found this related youtube video clip.   That had to hurt!)

[lee martell]

That’s a good question, unless Bolton already knows his book will be somewhat underwhelming once it’s actually read, vs worried about. I think he enjoy’s keeping the president in suspense.

Man, you said it!

What a POS Bolton turned out to be.

[Ouchthatonehurt]

HAHAHAHAH!
I hadn’t seen the original.
“I’ve got to finish” wonder if that’s Bolton’s thinking.

[dowcaet]

Trump’s election shone the light on all of these globalist traitors. That’s why they hate the man’s guts. I shudder to think how much of our national security has been compromised by these people. It costs something to belong to the Deep State globalist club and exchanging secrets is the price of admission.
