WASHINGTON (AP) -The Justice Department has sent a letter to the publisher and literary agency of the anonymous government official whose book is scheduled to come out later this month. The letter raises questions over whether any confidentiality agreement has been violated.

The publisher, Hachette Book Group, responded Monday by saying no such agreements were broken.
The book, “A Warning,” is by the official who wrote an essay published last year in The New York Times, alleging that numerous people in the government were resisting the “misguided impulses” of President Donald Trump. News of the Justice Department letter was first reported by CNN.
In 2018, a Trump lawyer sent a cease-and-desist letter to the publisher of Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury.” The letter was ignored, and the book became a million seller.
It is not clear why they would be concerned about a book they have not yet. Perhaps they are judging it by the cover.
Another defeat for trumpf and his goose schleppers. The levers of power are all in for Deranged Donald’s self interest, instead of properly managing the nation’s issues. The Anonymous book has already pre-sold millions thanks to the IMPEACHMENT. Coming next- more Nurenburg rallies near BP, Willy, Monsey, and a shtetl near you…
SAY “DOJ” PHONETICALLY AS AN ACRONYM. WHAT DOES IT SOUND LIKE? COINCIDENCE? NUH UH!
The publisher is not responsible if the author violated a confidentiality agreement with the government. The publisher isn’t a party to that agreement.
