Former National Security Advisor John Bolton headlines Virtual Newsmaker, Tuesday

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton will participate in a National Press Club Virtual Newsmaker at 10 a.m., Tuesday, Aug. 18.

Bolton, author of the recently published “The Room Where it Happened: A White House Memoir,” will share what it was like to be at the right hand of president Donald Trump as he made some of the most controversial decisions of his administration.  

This 1-hour program will stream live as part of the Club’s Virtual Newsmaker series, and is accessible to both the media and members of the general public free-of-charge. 

Bolton will participate in a moderated question-and-answer session with Club President Michael Freedman. Viewers can send their questions for Bolton in advance or during the live program via email to [email protected]. 

Among the areas Bolton is likely to discuss: Did Trump really ask Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to "do a favor" and investigate former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter in exchange for U.S. aid? Was Trump always antagonistic toward China? 

Signed copies of Bolton's book are available for purchase in the Club's online store.
