During an appearance at Duke University on Monday night, former National Security Adviser John Bolton didn't reveal much about his forthcoming book on the time he spent in President Trump's White House, but he did quip, "I hope my book is not suppressed."

The manuscript is still being reviewed by the White House. According to The New York Times, Bolton writes in his book that Trump attempted to involve him in a quid pro quo arrangement with Ukraine. Trump has said his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — the conversation that triggered his impeachment — was "perfect," and when asked if he agrees, Bolton responded, "You'll love Chapter 14."
