DOJ aims to stop publication of book in new lawsuit against John Bolton

The 27-page filing also requests that a judge order Bolton to take any actions “within his power” to stop the publication of his book as it’s currently drafted and “retrieve and dispose” of any copies that may have been sent out to third parties.

“The United States is not seeking to censor any legitimate aspect of Defendant’s manuscript; it merely seeks an order requiring Defendant to complete the prepublication review process and to take all steps necessary to ensure that only a manuscript that has been officially authorized through that process—and is thus free of classified information—is disseminated publicly,” the filing says.
Additionally, the DOJ in the filing asks the judge to establish a “constructive trust on any profits obtained from disclosure or dissemination” of Bolton’s book in the event they want seize the profits from Bolton directly.
