The book titled “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir” which is set for release soon, will reportedly detail numerous instances of misconduct by president Donald Trump.

The New York Times reported last week the book will allege that Trump abused his presidential powers by linking the release of Ukraine aid to that country’s investigation of political rival vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

The Trump administration sent a threatening letter to Bolton January 23, 2020 saying the book “appears to contain significant amounts of classified information” and couldn’t be published as written.

But national security experts believe the threat is aimed at silencing Bolton and making sure he does not testify in the impeachment trial of Donald Trump or the book being release before the trial is over.

“This whole thing is aimed at silencing Bolton,” a national security expert based in Washington, D.C., told us Wednesday. “Trump Couldn’t care less except when his presidency is at stake. He just wants to make sure the book does not come out during the trial or John Bolton testifying during the trial.”

The Trump administration letter said “the manuscript may not be published or otherwise disclosed without the deletion of this classified information.”

Asked by reporters if this is an attempt to silence John Bolton, the White House said they had no comment. A spokesperson for book publisher Simon & Schuster declined to comment as well.

Bolton has said he would be willing to testify in the Senate trial if subpoenaed but Trump attorneys and Republican senate leaders are refusing to call witnesses or demand additional documents, as asked for by Democrats.

Trump posted many negative tweets about Bolton on Wednesday.

“For a guy who couldn’t get approved for the Ambassador to the U.N. years ago, couldn’t get approved for anything since, “begged” me for a non Senate approved job, which I gave him despite many saying “Don’t do it, sir,” takes the job, mistakenly says “Libyan Model” on T.V., and many more mistakes of judgement, gets fired because frankly, if I listened to him, we would be in World War Six by now, and goes out and IMMEDIATELY writes a nasty & untrue book. All Classified National Security. Who would do this?” Trump tweeted.

He claimed, without proof that Bolton’s book was “untrue.”
