What's in John Bolton's book that Trump doesn't want out in the world?

US President Donald Trump says his previous national security consultant John Bolton will overstep the law and face criminal risk if a book he has expounded on his time in the White House is distributed.

Trump told columnists that Bolton realized he had arranged data in his book, and that he had not finished a clearing procedure required for any book composed by previous government authorities who approached touchy data.

"I will consider each discussion with me as president profoundly arranged. So that would imply that on the off chance that he composed a book and if the book gets out, he's violated the law," Trump said.

"That is called a criminal obligation. That is a major thing," Trump included.

Lawyer General William Barr, talking at a similar occasion, said the Justice Department was attempting to get Bolton to finish the freedom procedure and "make the essential erasures of arranged data".

Trump terminated Bolton in September following 519 days at work in the midst of stewing contrasts on a wide exhibit of international strategy issues.

Bolton's The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir, is set to be distributed on June 23.

At that point national security consultant John Bolton tunes in to the US President Donald Trump in 2018. His prior cases legitimately tested Trump's situation in Ukraine.

The distributer, Simon and Schuster, said in a news discharge it gave an insider record of Trump's "conflicting, scattershot dynamic procedure".

The book subtleties Trump's dealings with China, Russia, Ukraine, North Korea, Iran, Britain, France and Germany, the distributor said. "This is the book Donald Trump doesn't need you to peruse," Simon and Schuster said.

Ben Wizner, executive of the American Civil Liberties Union's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, said the push to hinder the book's distribution was bound to fall flat.

"As usual, the administration's dangers have nothing to do with protecting national security, and everything to do with maintaining a strategic distance from outrage and humiliation," Wizner said.

Trump said the issue of distributing arranged data incorporating discussions with the President "turns out to be surprisingly more dreadful in the event that he lies about the discussion, which I comprehend he may have now and again." He said he had not perused the book.

"So we'll see what occurs. They're in court, or they'll before long be in court," Trump said.
