The American judiciary is considering Friday the case of the book of former White House advisor John Bolton in which he attacked Donald Trump while the American president is trying to prevent his publication amid great pressure that he faces before months of the elections. Presidential.
At the last minute, the United States government submitted an application to prevent the publication of "The Room Wear It Happend" (the room in which this occurred) that records the events of 17 months during which the author worked as Trump´s national security adviser in 2018-2019.
A federal court judge in Washington will hear the arguments of the two parties at one o´clock (17:00 GMT) before the pronouncement of this urgent case, before the publication scheduled for Tuesday.
The Trump team says the book is "full of confidential information" and that John Bolton did not submit it as it usually does to a review of legal professionals at the White House.
The publisher Simon & Schuster replied that the former chancellor, known for his many white mustache, was fully aware of what he was doing armament with the First Amendment to the American Constitution that enshrines freedom of expression, supported, paradoxically, by the civil rights organizations that have fought Bolton´s hardline positions in the past.
Without waiting for the outcome of this legal confrontation, large extracts of the book have already been leaked to the press in recent days.
Based on these excerpts, the book paints Trump in the form of a president who lacks advisers who give him informed advice except that he is prepared to do anything to re-elect him next November, even if that means asking for support from China, the strategic rival of the United States, and thus Putting the security of his country at risk.
John Bolton, who has made appearances on several TV shows this weekend, has already announced his conclusion since Thursday: Donald Trump "does not fit" according to him as president of the most powerful country in the world.
On the other hand, the Republican billionaire unleashed his tweets, pointing his arrows at his former adviser, who described him as "a dull fool and indignant of all he is seeking to wage war" and that he waited for his dismissal in September to criticize his former boss who had been fiercely defending him until then.
Trump gave the rescue camp. Then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo published a loud statement Thursday evening saying "I too was in the room," and described Bolton as "a traitor who has damaged America" ​​with his "lies."
Needless to say, the powerful foreign minister, always ready to defend Donald Trump, is also under fire, as Bolton tells how he hangs behind the president´s back on his words and describes him as "just nonsense."
For its part, the democratic opposition is divided between denouncing the late disclosure of facts that could have been more beneficial to it during its efforts that failed to dismiss the president, and the desire to echo this overwhelming attack on the former real estate tycoon.
The White House would like the media hype surrounding John Bolton´s memoirs to end there, in order to focus the spotlight on the re-launch of the Trump campaign that was planned to launch again during a major election rally Saturday in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
"My campaign has not started yet. It will be launched on Saturday evening in Oklahoma," the Republican candidate wrote on Twitter on Friday.
As his popularity plummets in opinion polls against his opponent Joe Biden, Donald Trump needs to turn the page of repeated crises that have shaken his presidency in recent months, from his controversial administration of the Corona pandemic, to the economic recession that has bombed the back of his growth-dependent campaign as a slogan to To a wave of historical anger against racism and police violence.
