President Donald Trump has suggested that former national security adviser John Bolton should be jailed over the publication of his book, which the White House claims contains classified information from his time working in the administration.

Bolton’s book, “The Room Where It Happened,” which recounts his 17-month stint at the White House, hit shelves on Tuesday after the Trump administration failed to block its immediate release. The legal battle is still ongoing amid the administration’s efforts to seek relief for Bolton’s alleged violations of his contractual obligations by not completing the pre-publication review of his book.
