The judge presiding over the Trump administration’s bid to delay the release of a book by former national security advisor John Bolton will issue a ruling after an in-person review of classified evidence submitted by the government.
Federal district court Judge Royce Lamberth questioned the attorneys on both sides of the dispute for nearly two hours on June 19 before signaling that his decision will be based on a review of the classified information submitted by the government. Lamberth signaled that the dates on which the information was classified may play a role in his decision.
