Two authors can play at that game. On the heels of former national security advisor John Bolton's already infamous book, "The Room Where it Happened," about his time in the Trump administration, where he accuses the president of using Ukraine and China to boost his re-election chances, former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has penned her own book, called "Speaking for Myself." Because of the current news cycle, she thought it would be a perfect time to share an anecdote from her book about Bolton. And it ain't pretty. The following story, she says, proves that Bolton is...

Former White House National Security Adviser John Bolton asked a federal court to dismiss the Justice Department’s (DOJ) effort to block the publication of his memoir Thursday evening. In the Thursday night motion, lawyers for the former Trump official asked the court to dismiss the case for failure to state a claim, calling the DOJ effort a "regrettable pretext designed to cover up what is in fact a determined political effort to suppress Ambassador Bolton’s speech." The Trump administration filed an emergency application Wednesday asking for a restraining order to block publication of the book, "The Room Where it Happened",...

More excerpts trickled out Thursday from John Bolton’s upcoming memoir of his time in the Trump White House, as the Department of Justice prepared for an emergency court hearing to block its release — and a Trump adviser blasted the book as “revenge porn.” The nearly 600-page tome by Bolton — who served as Trump’s national security adviser between April 2018 and September 2019 — is set to be released Tuesday, assuming the feds fail in their bid to keep it under wraps. Despite the efforts to keep a lid on it, several unflattering claims Bolton levels in “The Room...

The Trump administration has sued to stop John Bolton’s purported “tell-all” from being released next week on the ground that it is filled with classified information that affects national security. That suit hasn’t stopped Bolton’s publisher from leaking the supposed “bombshells” in the book. Those bombshells will excite Trump haters, but those who support Trump will immediately recognize them as lies, deliberate misinterpretations, and resentment. Expect the activist Democrat media to sing the book’s praises, but that won’t change the outcome of the November election. The book’s biggest alleged bombshell, which Bolton writes about in the Wall Street Journal...

Tell-all books that offer a damning depiction of President Trump are often embraced by news networks, but MSNBC host Chris Hayes blasted former national security adviser John Bolton for the release of his new book, "The Room Where It Happened." Hayes began by arguing that the GOP is more the "party of John Bolton" than the "party of Donald Trump," noting that he served in the last two Republican administrations and claiming he's a "vicious bureaucratic infighter" who is "duplicitous," "untrustworthy," and "extremely militaristic." "He's a completely morally odious individual you wouldn't want in your organization or anywhere around you,"...

John Bolton's first interview about his blockbuster book will be a primetime sit-down with ABC News' Martha Raddatz that will air Sunday night. Bolton, President Trump's former national security adviser, is poised to release 'The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir' next Tuesday, which will paint a picture of 'chaos' and a president focused exclusively on his own re-election, according to the book's publisher. ABC News also reported Monday that the Trump administration is expected to file a lawsuit to keep Bolton's book, in its current form, off of store shelves.
