“The Room Where It Happened” was released earlier this month and details Bolton’s tumultuous 18 months in the President Trump administration.

Bolton has been on a non-stop media tour that has included several heated interviews that have captured the headlines.

“You are a national negotiator, how can you be naive?” CBS Stephen ColbertStephen Tyrone Colbert Obama, Clinton Join Virtual Black League Celebration Bolton replies to Colbert, “You’ve really insulted me” by calling me “naive.” The Hill Campaign Report: Biden Campaign Goes Offensive Against Facebook Bolton asked last week. “You have dealt with the worst people in the world.”

“You’ve really insulted me now by calling me naive,” Bolton replied. “Look, I thought it was possible to work with someone. I thought they would surely want to learn about the complexities of arms control negotiations and that sort of thing, and as I detail in the book, it turned out that it wasn’t true.” “

In other interviews, Bolton was pressured about why he kept key allegations he could have shared in testimony during Trump’s impeachment trial over the book.

The Trump administration also provided extensive free publicity for the book, and the Justice Department unsuccessfully sued Bolton for trying to stop his release over classified national security concerns.

The lawsuit was rejected, but not before the judge in the case said Bolton “played with the national security of the United States” and “exposed his country to harm.”

Bolton was reportedly paid a $ 2 million advance for the memoirs.
