to leverage information about his political opponent joe biden john bolton refused an invitation to testify before the house but now alleges that this action was typical of president trump's dealing with a number of countries and he criticizes the house for limiting its investigation to use crain had they taken the time to inquire more systematically about trump's behavior crosses entire foreign policy john bolton writes the impeachment outcome would have been different in published excerpts from his book bolton alleges that president trump sort favors from foreign leaders like the one turkey and in particular president xi of china bolton recounts president trump's conversation when he met the chinese president in a soccer on the 29th of june last year trump then stunningly turned the conversation to the coming u.s. presidential election alluding to china's economic capability and pleading with

sheikh to ensure he'd when you stress the importance of farmers and increase chinese purchases of soybeans and wheat in the electoral outcome bolton continues i would print trump's exact words but the government's pre-publication review process has decided otherwise despite bolton's confirmation that the manuscript has been vetted by the national security council the department of justice has asked a federal court to block publication 50 years ago the supreme court held that a similar attempt by the nixon administration to block publication of the pentagon papers amounted to censorship the widespread publication of passages from the book is likely to reinforce the federal court in applying precedent and rejecting the trumpet ministrations case next week it's likely the public will be able to read the full account of a white house which practices in john bolton's words obstruction of justice as

a way of life. mike hanna al jazeera washington bill schneider is a professor of public policy at george mason university joins us now live via skype from washington d.c. bill it was good to have you with us the new york times review of bolton's book describes it as being well dull and pretty pompous but the extracts that have been released so far a pretty embarrassing to say the least for the president what's your take on it or well i read the new york times if you would just scathing review by their nonfiction editor my take on it is that it's shocking oh it's not anything dramatically new but what it really demonstrates is john bolton's argument that donald trump is motivated primarily by his personal interest in everything and right now that means just personal interest in getting reelected he seems to be putting his personal interests and head of the national interest or at least defining the national interest and his personal political interest as one in the

same that is a very damaging charge and it's actually a scandalous charge some people would call it reasonable charge but it's a very strong charge the white house and the u.s. justice to pop into both taking legal action to try to stop the publication of this book speaking just a few moments ago on fox news the president said that bolton has broken the law and why saying this book has he well we can't be sure the courts are going to have to determine that but whatever that is going to happen it's to my name the book is already out there it's not in stores he at but it's been sent to media outlets like to be or times reviews have been published more reviews are coming it's too late you can't kill a book like this it's a gift for joe biden is nuts. well it isn't there's a lot of material in there that he's certainly going to be able to use in the campaign part of it is trump's shocking unfamiliarity with some of the basic facts

about international affairs he wonders whether he asks it when pulling reports whether finland is actually a part of russia he doesn't know he seems to be surprised that great britain is a nuclear power he didn't seem to know that there are many occasions there where his lack of knowledge is really quite surprising he also does some embarrassing things like he presses people to deliver a gift an elton john musical cd of a song whole rocket man he asks people to deliver that to the leader of north korea who he likes to call rocket man i mean the whole thing is a bit embarrassing a new york times for a few we were talking about says that joe bolton as a man who has planned his career meticulously what now for him show he's no republican politicians ever going to trust him again after these revelations that's true this is a real career ending decision to me that he made to publish this book but i think

that the trump constituency is going to regard this as the washington establishment represented by john bolton he's a longstanding member of the conservative foreign policy establishment in washington he was a u.n. ambassador and to president bush they're going to see it as the washington establishment trying to banish donald trump and defeated for reelection and that's the way trump is likely to portray you see what the establishment is trying to do to me they're trying to destroy me and his base will probably take it is exactly that bill really go to talk to many thanks and they profess a bill schneider that. from but george mason university. bolton also says that trump told she's in paying that he approved of china's repression of weaker muslims and other minorities while publicly condemning the mass to tensions on wednesday trump signed into law and acts the cause for sanctions against chinese officials who are involved the u.s. state department says that up to a 1000000 muslims have been detained in camps and in some cases tortured china's

weapons more than 380 times wedding people and their siege 2000000 people are put under siege and will die in other places we've seen the pictures of children dying because of starvation in malawi. because of the assad regime so these voices are right knowledge building about the suffering of the people in syria which we care about every person who suffered in syria we care about and should be assisted but the dog about this issue is by the same government that bomb hospital used chemical weapons bomb schools and markets and start people to death to me looks very sounds very critical and that was then. it is good to have you with us hello adrian fenty going to him in doha the headlines on how syria donald trump has been accused of asking the chinese president to help him when the u.s. election it's one of a series of allegations which will appear in
