Jenna Ellis on John Bolton’s Book: ‘The DOJ Is Holding Him to His Agreement in the Interest of National Security’

‘The fact of the matter is Donald Trump is the United States president’

EXCERPT:

ELLIS: "That’s simply not true. And you know, for a national security adviser who had access to confidential information and the national security information, who signed an NDA and signed a waiver saying that he would go through this type of process in the event that he did have a manuscript later to publish, he agreed to this upfront. And so, what Attorney General Bill Barr said at the roundtable yesterday was perfectly appropriate that the DOJ is simply holding him to his agreement in the interest of national security here. And Shannon, everyone wants to make this about President Trump and some kind of palace intrigue, but the fact of the matter is that President Trump is the United States president and we shouldn’t treat him any differently than the protections of the executive office and the protections of the United States national security afforded to every other president."
