In excerpts published by The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal, Bolton also claims Trump repeatedly showed a readiness to overlook Chinese human rights abuses – most strikingly telling Xi the mass internment of Uighur Muslims was “exactly the right thing to do.” In a sign of Trump’s anger over the memoir, the Justice Department filed an emergency order late Wednesday seeking a halt to publication, the second time in as many days it has tried to block the book.
