A federal judge has ruled, Saturday, June 20, 2020, that former national security adviser John Bolton can move forward in publishing his tell-all book. The Trump administration had tried to block the release because of concerns that classified information could be exposed.

Former acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell, who led the intelligence community at the onset of COVID, told Fox News Digital that he did"one of the biggest intelligence deep dives on China, their spying and the origins of COVID" during his tenure. "It's not true. I can refute it," Ratcliffe said on"Sunday Morning Futures.""The American people can refute it for themselves.
