In response to The New York Times reporting on the leaked manuscript from former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s upcoming book about his time working for President Trump, Bolton’s former chief of staff wrote a scathing op-ed for Fox News that denounced the book for setting a “dangerous precedent” while demanding he withdraw it from publication until after the 2020 election.
“It was crushing to read weekend press reports that my friend and former boss John Bolton plans to publish a tell-all book on his time as President Trump’s National Security Advisor,” Fred Fleitz begins in the lengthy op-ed. “The book reportedly will be published in March 2020. Given the importance of protecting a president’s confidential discussions with his senior advisers, I strongly disagree with Bolton’s decision to release the book before the November presidential election and call on him to withdraw it from the publisher immediately.”
