볼턴 회고록 공식 출간...트럼프 “볼턴 법을 어겼다”

Former U.S. national security advisor John Bolton and his book publisher Simon & Schuster moved forward with the release of his White House memoir Tuesday, even after a federal judge indicated the government would likely succeed if it tries to seize any money Bolton hoped to make and that he might face criminal charges.
This as President Donald Trump and his aides continue to try to discredit Bolton and his memoir.
Kim Mok-yeon has this story.
U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton's memoir, 'The Room Where It Happened', has officially been released online and in stores.
The book had been subject to harsh criticism even before release, as some leaked versions contained confidential discussions between state leaders and high-ranking officials.
As of Tuesday, the book even reached the top of Amazon's best seller list.
However, President Donald Trump strongly criticized the book, calling Bolton "incompetent" and a "liar".
On Tuesday, he tweeted that Bolton broke the law, retweeting a Yonhap News article containing the South Korean government's reaction to the memoir, which expressed regret over classified information some of which were largely distorted being revealed.
Such remarks came after the White House demanded more than four-hundred corrections and cuts in the original version, including parts which deal with the Trump administration's handling of the Korean Peninsula and the summits with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Earlier, the Trump administration attempted to prevent the book from being published, but a federal judge declined to make such an order claiming that the administration's efforts had come too late.
The judge however left open the possibility that Bolton could face criminal charges or be forced to hand over any profits.
