The Trump administration filed a lawsuit on June 16 seeking to prevent former national security adviser John Bolton from publishing a book that details his 17-month stint in the White House.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, comes a week before the highly anticipated memoir, “The Room Where It Happened,” was set to be published. It alleged that the book is “rife with classified information” and would compromise national security if published before completion of a government review.
