The Trump administration sues former adviser John Bolton, seeking to block him from publishing a book about his time in the White House, which it says contains classified national security information
The civil lawsuit came one day after U.S. President Donald Trump said Bolton would be breaking the law if the book were published.
Publication of the book “would cause irreparable harm, because the disclosure of instances of classified information in the manuscript reasonably could be expected to cause serious damage, or exceptionally grave damage, to the national security of the United States,” according to the lawsuit.
Bolton’s lawyer Charles Cooper said they were reviewing the lawsuit and “will respond in due course.”
