6:34 am
the first to sit down with john bolton, just days before the former national security adviser publishes his fiery, new book detailing chaos in president trump's white house where bolton claims the president's ony strategy is re-election. this morning, nothing stands in the way of that book's release on tuesday, a federal judge now ruling against the justice department's request to block its publishing. this past week i got the chance to catch one martha raddatz and i will point out we did speak a day before the judge' ruling. thank you for joining us. let's start big picture. obviously you've covered politics, national security for years. have you ever seen anything like this, with a national security adviser turning so publicly on a president? >> absolutely not, and that goes to the heart of it, liz, because you've got the highest ranking official i've ever seen write a book, comprehensive book about a sitting president, and that's the difference here. bob gates years ago wrote a boo nearly as much as this book has in it, and certainly not the
6:35 am
very, very sharp criticisms of president trump, and a sitting president, again. >> yes, and we talk about some of the explosive details in the book and in the interview that you did with him for instance i know he told you the president isn't fit for office, of everything that he told you, what do you think was the most surprising or alarming to you? >> well, i think basically his charges that president trump did not care about anything but re-election, that he p re-election before the country. but i think also just knowing that john bolton was in the room for all these important national security meetings from north korea, russia, china, john bolton has been there and listened to the president and his adviser. he's seen it up close, so to hear him describe a president as bizarre and stunningly uninformed and all sorts of adjectives, there were some jaw-dropping moments in the interview and many more to come. >> yes, and i think that also
6:36 am
just brings us to this question of timing. i think there's a lot of questions about why john bolton is speaking out now, why detailing accusations in a book as opposed to testifying during impeachment or speaking out during his administration. did he give any explanation for that? >> he did. he says that he thought the impeachment hearings were too narrow, or too politicized and he said he didn't think he'd make a difference, and i challenged him numerous times on that, because what he told us and what is in the book was a missing key according to the democrats, and that was that he says he heard donald trump tie the security aid to ukraine to the investigations and to joe biden and others. the republicans, the white house lawyers even said no and claimed that during the impeachment hearing. so whether it would make a difference, we'll never know. he clearly wants to get this book out before the election, because he clearly doesn't have faith in the president. >> martha, thank you for joining
6:37 am
us and we really look forward to the interview sunday night. >> thank you, liz. geat talking to you. >> good talking to you, too. you can watch the exclusive interview with marta raddatz and john bolton for the first time tonight at 9:00 p.m. here on abc 7 news. now let's get to the latest new details in the fallout and controversial firing of top u.s. attorney jeffrey berman, a federal prosecutor for the southern district of new york, who oversaw several cases involving president trump's allies in the southern district of new york including probes into the president's former fixer michael cohen and personal attorney rudy giuliani. originally attorney general william barr said berman was resigning friday night butber man disputed that. berman has since been fired. president trump tried to separate himself yesterday. >> we have a capable attorney general. it's up to him. i'm not involved. >> barr wrote berman a letter accusing him of choosing public spectacle over public service. the president has wanted berman gone for months. coming up on "this week" senator tim scott and congressman hakeem
