John Bolton files motion to dismiss Trump lawsuit over explosive memoir revealing his time in White House
JOHN Bolton has moved to dismiss the Justice Department's lawsuit to stop the publication of his upcoming tell-all book.
The 71-year-old former national security adviser filed a motion in court on Thursday in response to the Justice Department's action against him for "failure to state a claim."
In an accompanying filing, is a "regrettable pretext designed to cover up what is in fact a determined political effort to suppress Ambassador speech."
His 592-page tell-all is expected to touch on Trump's impeachment last December and provide a first-hand account of the president's conduct.
As Bolton filed his motion, White House trade adviser and branded the ex-NSA "Big Lie Bolton."
"My take on Big Lie Bolton, it's Book Deal Bolton, he is doing it for the money, that is pretty clear, and my view is it is the Washington swamp's equivalent of revenge porn," Navarro told reporters outside the White House on Thursday.
In his book, Bolton claims that in November.
The book was originally set to be published earlier this year, but it was reportedly met with delays as it passed through prepublication reviews by the National Security Council.
