A federal judge on Thursday denied former Trump national security adviser John Bolton's effort to get the government's lawsuit over his book dismissed.
That allows the Justice Department to proceed in its effort to seize his profits from the book, "The Room Where it Happened," a harsh condemnation of the Trump White House and its handling of foreign policy.
Federal District Court Judge Royce Lamberth said the government "alleges sufficient facts to support its claim" that Bolton violated his obligations to get written permission to proceed with publication after the book was reviewed to remove any classified information. The judge found the government has a sufficiently strong case to move on to the next step.

Yeah, even the hard righties reviled at his mention. The worst war hawk in politics.

I have to believe that Trump had some reason to bring him in. he has done some dumb things, but this one seemed calculated. Just glad he's gone.

Bolton could have easily piled on with the anti trumper's who accused the president of bad-mouthing brave soldiers.
But he did not. In fact, he said he was on the airplane with the president and the president had nothing but good things to say about the troops who died in battle.
Contrast that with video of Joe Biden calling our brave men and women in uniform stupid bastards...and dull.
If if video surfaced last month of President Trump saying that, even as a joke, he would have been impeached and removed by now.
